Iced Vanilla Bean Frappuccino (Print)

Creamy iced coffee with vanilla bean and coconut whipped cream for a refreshing treat.

# Components:

→ Coffee Base

01 - 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
02 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
03 - 1½ tablespoons pure maple syrup
04 - ½ vanilla bean, seeds scraped or 1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
05 - 2 cups ice cubes

→ Coconut Whipped Cream

06 - 1 can (13.5 fluid ounces) full-fat coconut milk, chilled overnight
07 - 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, optional
08 - ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Topping

09 - Pinch of vanilla bean powder or grated dark chocolate

# Directions:

01 - Scoop only the solid coconut cream from the chilled can into a mixing bowl and reserve the liquid for another use. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then whip with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
02 - In a blender, combine cooled coffee, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla bean seeds or extract, and ice. Blend on high speed until smooth and frothy.
03 - Pour the blended frappuccino mixture into two tall glasses, filling them three-quarters full.
04 - Top each glass generously with coconut whipped cream and garnish with a pinch of vanilla bean powder or grated dark chocolate if desired.
05 - Serve immediately with a straw while the frappuccino is cold and frothy.

# Chef Secrets:

01 -
  • Ready in just 10 minutes from start to finish
  • Completely plant-based and dairy-free, yet incredibly creamy
  • Uses real vanilla bean for authentic flavor
  • Customizable sweetness and strength to suit your taste
  • Significantly less expensive than coffeehouse versions
  • Perfect for warm weather refreshment
02 -
  • Chill your coconut milk for at least 12 hours for the best whipping results
  • Don't shake the coconut milk can—you want the cream and liquid separated
  • Use strong coffee for maximum flavor; weak coffee will taste diluted once blended with ice
  • Adjust the ice amount based on your desired thickness
  • Save the leftover coconut water from the can for smoothies or other recipes
  • For an extra-cold frappuccino, freeze some coffee in ice cube trays and use those instead of regular ice
