Equipment
- 1 High speed blender
- 1 Measuring Cups and Spoons
- 3 Tall serving glasses
- 3 Straws
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen strawberries 140 grams
- 1 cup milk 240 grams
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream 240 grams
- ½ cup ice cubes 75 grams
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar 36 grams
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 5 grams
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee or Teecino Dark Roast cooled, 240 grams
- Strawberry syrup for drizzling
- Whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Brew the coffee or Teecino – Brew 1 cup of strong coffee or Teecino Dark Roast and allow it to cool completely to room temperature before blending. Warm liquid will thin the frappe and melt the frozen ingredients too quickly. Skip this step for a pure strawberry and cream version.
- Prepare the glass – Drizzle strawberry simple syrup around the inside of a tall glass in a slow, steady swirl. Place the glass in the refrigerator while you blend so it stays cold and the syrup sets slightly before pouring.
- Add the liquid ingredients to the blender – Pour the milk, heavy whipping cream, and completely cooled coffee or Teecino into the blender first to help the blades move freely from the start.
- Add the frozen ingredients – Add the frozen strawberries, ice cubes, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract to the blender on top of the liquid ingredients.
- Blend until smooth – Start on medium speed then increase to high and blend for 30 to 60 seconds until completely smooth with no visible strawberry pieces or ice bits remaining. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Check the consistency – If too thick to blend, add a small splash of milk and blend again for 10 to 15 seconds. If thinner than desired, add a few more frozen strawberries and pulse briefly.
- Pour and finish – Remove the prepared glass from the refrigerator and pour the frappe in slowly so the syrup swirl stays visible on the sides. Top generously with whipped cream and drizzle additional strawberry simple syrup over the top.
- Serve immediately – Add a straw and serve right away while the frappe is at its frostiest.

Notes
Use fully frozen strawberries – Frozen berries create the thickest, creamiest texture. If using fresh strawberries, add a handful of ice to help thicken the drink.
Cool the coffee before blending – Warm coffee will thin the mixture and melt the frozen ingredients too quickly. Let it cool completely for the best consistency.
Blend until completely smooth – Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure everything incorporates evenly and no frozen chunks remain. Best enjoyed immediately – This drink has the ideal texture right after blending. It will naturally thin as it sits.
Store leftovers properly – Refrigerate up to 24 hours in an airtight container. Re-blend before serving to restore the creamy texture.
