Ingredient Notes
- Homemade Frappuccino base syrup: To recreate Starbucks Frappuccinos, the Frappuccino base syrup is a must. It’s made with sugar, water, and xanthan gum, which is a thickener. Make a batch of this first.
- White chocolate sauce: This is to flavor the Frappuccino with white chocolate flavor.
- Milk: Starbucks makes their Frappuccinos with whole milk, but you can use any milk you like. Whole milk will make your frozen drink creamier though.
- Heavy cream: This is to make the whipped cream topping.
- Vanilla syrup: To flavor and sweeten the whipped cream, vanilla syrup is used instead of sugar. Starbucks uses vanilla syrup in their whipped cream.
- Ice: If possible, make ice using filtered water.
For full ingredients and detailed instructions, please see the recipe card at the bottom of the post.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Whisk heavy cream and vanilla syrup to make whipped cream. Set aside.
Use a handheld milk frother to make whipped cream in seconds.
Step 2: Blend white chocolate sauce, milk, ice, and homemade Frappuccino base syrup until smooth. Start the blender on low, then turn it up high. Use a tamper tool to make sure the ice gets blended evenly.
Step 3: Pour in Frappuccino into a cup.
Step 4: Top drink with whipped cream.
Expert Tips
- Don’t add ice into the blender first since you won’t get an efficient blend. Add ingredients into the blender in the same order it’s listed on the recipe.
- You don’t have to use the homemade Frappuccino base syrup to make this drink, but not including it will make your drink icy and not creamy. Replace the Frappuccino base syrup with the same amount of simple syrup to sweeten.
- Use a handheld milk frother to make homemade whipped cream quickly and easily. It should take about 30 seconds to get whipped cream with soft peaks. The longer you whisk, the thicker the whipped cream will get.
- The drink is made with vanilla whipped cream but if you want to make white chocolate whipped cream, just replace the vanilla syrup with white chocolate sauce and add that to the heavy cream.
