Ingredients
Scale
Frappuccino Base
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup ice
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar (adjust 1/2–1 tbsp more if desired for sweetness)
- 1/4 tsp xanthan gum
- 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste
Topping
- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Add the whole milk, ice, granulated sugar, xanthan gum, and vanilla bean paste to your blender. Blend on high until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth, which should take between 60 seconds to 3 minutes depending on your blender’s power.
- Taste and Adjust Sweetness: Sample the frappuccino and if you prefer it sweeter, add an additional 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of sugar, then blend again briefly to combine.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the frappuccino into a glass, top with whipped cream if desired, and enjoy your homemade Vanilla Bean Frappuccino without ice cream.
Notes
- Xanthan gum helps to thicken and stabilize the frappuccino, giving it a creamy texture without using ice cream.
- Adjust sugar to taste according to your preferred sweetness level.
- Using vanilla bean paste adds a richer vanilla flavor compared to vanilla extract.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk with almond or oat milk.
