Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon erythritol (or preferred sweetener)
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Brew coffee in advance and allow it to cool completely to room temperature. You can refrigerate the coffee to speed up the cooling process.
- Select a high-powered blender to ensure a smooth and creamy consistency for your frappuccino.
- Add the cooled coffee to the blender pitcher as the base liquid.
- Pour in the unsweetened almond milk, which will provide a creamy texture without adding extra carbohydrates.
- Measure and add the vanilla extract, which will give the drink its signature vanilla bean flavor profile.
- Sprinkle the erythritol or preferred sugar-free sweetener into the blender to ensure even distribution.
- Add a generous amount of ice cubes to create the classic frappuccino frozen texture and chill the drink.
- Blend the mixture on high speed for 30-45 seconds until the ice is completely crushed and the drink becomes smooth and frothy.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more erythritol in small increments.
- Pour the frappuccino into a tall glass and serve immediately for the best taste and temperature.
- Optional: Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few sugar-free chocolate shavings for extra flavor.
Tips
- Coffee Temperature Matters: Always use completely cooled coffee to prevent melting too much ice and losing the frappuccino's signature frosty texture.
- Blender Power is Key: Use a high-powered blender to ensure a smooth, creamy consistency without chunky ice pieces.
- Ice is Your Friend: Use plenty of ice cubes to create that classic frozen frappuccino texture. The more ice, the more authentic the drink.
- Sweetener Flexibility: Experiment with different sugar-free sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit if erythritol isn't your preference.
- Customize Your Flavor: Try adding a dash of sugar-free vanilla syrup or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra depth.
- Chill Your Glass: For an extra professional touch, chill your serving glass in the freezer for a few minutes before pouring.
- Prep Ahead: You can brew and cool your coffee the night before to save time in the morning.
