The Best Vanilla Bean Frappuccino

I don't know about you, but I love the Starbucks vanilla bean frappuccino. I mean, it's by far the best non-caffeinated drink on their menu, and it just tastes amazing!

So I had to recreate the Starbucks vanilla bean frappuccino at home, and I know I'm biased, but I think I nailed it! This copycat vanilla bean frappuccino recipe is incredibly thick and creamy, with the best vanilla bean flavor and a touch of sweetness.

I'm obsessed with how delicious it is, but my favorite part is how simple it is to make this homemade version. You can literally make it in 1 minute by adding all of the ingredients to a blender. That's way less time than it'd take you to drive to your nearest Starbucks and wait in line, and it's so much cheaper to make too. 

By the way, if you love Starbucks as much as I do, you have to make this caramel ribbon crunch frappuccino or ice white chocolate mocha next!

Ingredients Needed

• Whole milk- or any milk you want. Almond milk, soy milk, and oat milk are great options.
• Vanilla bean ice cream
• Vanilla extract- or vanilla bean powder, vanilla syrup, or vanilla bean paste
• Ice
• Whipped cream- or Cool Whip to serve with.

How To Make A Vanilla Bean Frappuccino

Step 1: Combine the ingredients. First, you'll want to add the milk of your choice, vanilla ice cream or vanilla bean ice cream, vanilla extract or other vanilla flavorings, and ice to a food blender.

Step 2: Blend the ingredients. Once all of the ingredients are in your blender, you can blend it all up for a minute or so until the ingredients combine into a thick and smooth mixture. If you want it to be thicker, just add some more ice to it, and if you want it to be thinner, you can add some more milk.

Step 3: Serve. Finally, you're going to pour the blended frappuccino mixture into a chilled glass and top it with whipped cream. Then serve it immediately and enjoy!
