Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all required ingredients including ice, milk, vanilla bean ice cream, sugar, vanilla extract, blue raspberry syrup, and optional whipped cream to ensure a smooth preparation process.
- Prepare Blender: Measure each ingredient accurately and make sure your blender is clean and ready for use.
- Add Ingredients to Blender: Place the ice, milk, vanilla bean ice cream, sugar, and vanilla extract into the high-speed blender.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes creamy and smooth with no large ice chunks remaining.
- Prepare Blue Raspberry Syrup: In a small bowl, mix 2-3 tablespoons of blue raspberry syrup with a small amount of milk or cream to create a smooth and slightly thick syrup for the swirl effect.
- Pour Vanilla Mixture: Pour the blended vanilla frappuccino into a tall serving glass, leaving some space at the top for the syrup swirl.
- Create Swirl Effect: Using a spoon, drizzle the prepared blue raspberry syrup along the inside edges of the glass to make a swirling design. Optionally, gently stir the syrup into the drink for a marbled look.
