For the Strawberry Base:

1/2 cup fresh or frozen strawberries – The star of the show, for that vibrant, fruity layer.

2 tbsp strawberry syrup or jam – Adds sweetness and a deeper strawberry flavor.

1/2 cup milk (any type) – Helps blend the base into a smooth puree.
For the Frappuccino Blend:
-
1 cup ice – Gives the drink its signature frosty texture.

1/2 cup milk – Keeps the blend creamy without overpowering the strawberry flavor.

1/4 cup vanilla yogurt or ice cream – Adds a luscious, dessert-like creaminess.

-
1 tbsp strawberry syrup – Enhances the pink hue and sweetness.
-
1/4 tsp vanilla extract – Brings a warm, aromatic depth to the drink.
For Topping:

Whipped cream – Because no frappuccino is complete without it.

Crushed shortbread cookies or graham crackers – For a satisfying crunch and shortcake essence.
-
Extra strawberry syrup (drizzle) – A pretty finishing touch that also boosts flavor.
