Add-ons and substitutions
- Iced Coffee. If you prefer a simpler iced coffee instead of a Frappuccino, just blend all the ingredients together except for the ice. Pour the coffee mixture over a glass filled with ice, and you're good to go!
- Vanilla bean frappe. For a homemade Vanilla Bean Frappuccino, swap out the vanilla extract for vanilla bean paste. This will give your drink a richer and more authentic vanilla flavor, and it's a great way to mix things up if you're a fan of vanilla.
- Vanilla milkshake with coffee. If you're in the mood for a milkshake, add a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream to your Frappuccino and skip the sugar. This will transform your drink into a creamy and indulgent treat that's perfect for a hot summer day.
- Caramel frappuccino. To make a Caramel Frappuccino, drizzle your glass with caramel syrup or caramel sauce before pouring in the coffee mixture. Top it off with whipped cream and an extra drizzle of caramel for a decadent and delicious drink.
- Creamy vanilla drink. Simply add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and skip the instant coffee and sugar. This will create a smooth and creamy drink that's perfect for a midday treat.
- Skinny version. If you're watching your calorie intake, try making a skinny version of this recipe. Swap out the whole milk for unsweetened almond milk, and use a sweetener instead of sugar. This will give you a lighter and healthier version of the drink without sacrificing any of the flavor.
