Strawberry Shortcake Frappuccino

Here’s a detailed homemade Strawberry Shortcake Frappuccino recipe that’s creamy, sweet, and indulgent—just like Starbucks, but you can make it at home!

Ingredients (Serves 2)

For the strawberry base:

• 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries (hulled)

• 2 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)

• 1 tsp lemon juice

For the frappuccino:

• 1 cup milk (whole, almond, or oat)

• 2 cups ice

• 2 tbsp white chocolate or vanilla syrup

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

• 1-2 tbsp sweetened condensed milk (optional, for extra creaminess)

For topping:

• Whipped cream

• Crumbled shortcake cookies, biscuits, or pound cake

• Strawberry sauce (optional)

Instructions

1. Make the strawberry puree:

   • In a blender, combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.

   • Optional: Strain to remove seeds for a smoother texture.

2. Blend the frappuccino:

   • Add the milk, ice, vanilla syrup, vanilla extract, and sweetened condensed milk to the blender with 3–4 tbsp of the strawberry puree.

   • Blend until smooth and creamy.

   • Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.

3. Assemble the drink:

   • Drizzle some strawberry puree around the inside of your glass.

   • Pour the frappuccino into the glass.

   • Top with whipped cream, crumbled shortcake or biscuit, and a drizzle of strawberry sauce.

4. Serve immediately with a straw or a spoon.

💡 Tips:

• For an extra indulgent version, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream before blending.

• Use freeze-dried strawberries crushed for a more “strawberry shortcake” flavor in the topping.

• You can make a strawberry drizzle by gently simmering equal parts strawberries and sugar for 5–7 minutes until syrupy.
