Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup milk (whole, 2%, or almond milk for dairy-free)
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream (regular or dairy-free alternative)
- 1/2 cup cold brewed coffee or espresso
- 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
- 1 cup ice cubes
Cookie Add-ins and Topping
- 6–8 chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
- Whipped cream for topping
- Additional crushed cookies or chocolate syrup for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and crush the chocolate sandwich cookies into small pieces to ensure even distribution throughout the frappuccino.
- Blend the Base: Combine the milk, vanilla ice cream, cold brewed coffee, chocolate syrup, and ice cubes in a blender. Pulse until smooth and creamy but thick enough to support cookie bits.
- Add Cookie Bits: Add the crushed cookies to the blender and pulse briefly to mix them in while keeping some crunchy pieces intact.
- Pour and Garnish: Pour the frappuccino into a tall glass, top generously with whipped cream, and sprinkle with extra crushed cookies or drizzle with chocolate syrup for a professional touch.
Notes
- Use cold ingredients to maintain a chilled frappuccino texture.
- Pulse gently when adding cookies to retain crunchy texture instead of powder.
- Adjust sweetness by tasting before blending cookies; add syrup or sugar if preferred.
- Use fresh, crunchy chocolate sandwich cookies for the best flavor.
- Cold brewed coffee is preferred for smoothness, but espresso or strong coffee can be substituted.
