Ingredients
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vanilla ice cream
1/4 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup cookie crumbs (from Oreos or similar cookies)
Whipped cream (for topping)
Chocolate syrup (for drizzling)
Additional cookie crumbs (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the milk, vanilla ice cream, chocolate chips, and cookie crumbs. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, ensuring the chocolate chips and cookie bits are well incorporated but still provide some texture.
- Drizzle chocolate syrup along the inside of a tall glass, allowing it to streak down naturally for a café-style presentation.
- Pour the blended mixture into the prepared glass, leaving about half an inch at the top for the whipped cream and toppings.
- Add a generous swirl of whipped cream on top. Sprinkle additional cookie crumbs over the whipped cream and finish with a final drizzle of chocolate syrup.
- Insert a straw and serve immediately to enjoy the frappuccino at its best, while it's still icy and the toppings are fresh.
Notes
- For a coffee kick, add a shot of espresso or 1/4 cup of cooled brewed coffee to the blender.
- Use plant-based milk and dairy-free ice cream for a dairy-free version.
- Chocolate ice cream can replace vanilla for extra chocolate flavor.
- Add peppermint extract for a mint chocolate twist.
- Best enjoyed immediately; leftovers can be frozen and thawed but texture may change.
- Use low-fat milk and reduced-sugar ice cream for a healthier option.
- Can prepare the base ahead and blend with ice before serving.
- Add more ice or reduce milk for thicker consistency.
- Try different ice cream flavors or toppings like chocolate shavings, caramel drizzle, or crushed nuts.
- Non-dairy whipped cream can be used as a topping.
