Description
A dessert-in-a-glass: creamy vanilla ice cream blended with frozen strawberries, milk, and strawberry syrup, finished with whipped cream and shortcake crumbs for a refreshing Strawberry Shortcake Frappuccino.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 cup milk (whole milk or dairy-free alternative)
- 2 scoops vanilla ice cream (about 1 cup)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 3 tablespoons strawberry syrup
- 1 tablespoon sugar, optional
- 1/2 cup shortcake crumbs (crushed biscuits or sponge cake)
- Whipped cream, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Place two serving glasses in the freezer for a few minutes to chill.
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add 1 cup frozen strawberries, 1 cup milk, 2 scoops vanilla ice cream, 1 cup ice cubes, 3 tablespoons strawberry syrup, and 1 tablespoon sugar if using. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: In a small bowl, crush shortcake or biscuits until crumbly and set aside.
- Assemble the Dish: Remove chilled glasses from the freezer. If desired, drizzle a little strawberry syrup along the inside of each glass for visual effect, then pour the blended frappuccino evenly into the glasses.
- Cook to Perfection: Check the texture and consistency, adjusting with a splash of milk to thin or a few more ice cubes to thicken. Ensure the blend is silky and well mixed.
- Finishing Touches: Top each frappuccino with a generous swirl of whipped cream, sprinkle with shortcake crumbs, and drizzle a little extra strawberry syrup if desired.
- Serve and Enjoy: Insert a straw and serve immediately, enjoying the creamy, crunchy, fruity contrast.
Notes
- Use frozen strawberries for the best thick, icy texture and brightest color.
- Chill glasses ahead of time for a frosty, cafe-style presentation.
- Prepare strawberry syrup and shortcake crumbs in advance to save time.
- Avoid over-blending to prevent the ice from melting and thinning the drink.
