Prepare the Ingredients:Gather all the ingredients and make sure the ice cubes are ready. If you're using regular ice cubes, you can break them into smaller pieces to make the blending process easier.
Blend the Frappe:In a blender, combine the ice cubes, milk, vanilla ice cream, vanilla extract, and sugar. Start the blender on a low speed, then gradually increase it until the mixture is completely blended. You want the result to be thick, smooth, and creamy with a slight frothy texture.
Taste and Adjust:Once blended, taste the frappe to see if it's sweet enough for your liking. If needed, you can add a little more sugar or sweetener and blend again.
Serve the Frappe:Pour the blended vanilla frappe into a tall glass. If you'd like, you can give the frappe a quick stir with a spoon to ensure it's mixed evenly.
Add Whipped Cream and Toppings:If desired, top the frappe with a generous amount of whipped cream for an indulgent touch. For extra flavor and sweetness, drizzle some vanilla syrup or honey over the whipped cream.
Enjoy:Optionally, garnish with a straw and serve immediately. Sip and enjoy the refreshing and creamy goodness of your homemade Vanilla Frappe!
Notes
- Sweetness Level: The amount of sugar you add can vary depending on how sweet you want your frappe to be. Vanilla ice cream already has sugar, so start with a smaller amount and taste test. You can always add more sugar or sweeteners if needed.
- Milk Alternatives: If you’re looking for a dairy-free option, you can substitute regular milk with almond milk, coconut milk, oat milk, or any other plant-based alternative. Each will slightly alter the flavor but still produce a delicious result.
- Extra Flavor Variations: If you want to add some extra flavor, try infusing your frappe with a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg, or even mix in a little coffee to make a Vanilla Coffee Frappe. A dash of caramel syrup would also add a delightful twist.
- Frozen Bananas: For a healthier version or to add more creaminess, consider freezing some ripe bananas and blending them into the frappe. It’ll give a natural sweetness and a thicker consistency.
