Ingredients

  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) strong brewed coffee, chilled
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla syrup
  • 1/2 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped (or 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste)
  • 2 cups (250 g) ice cubes
• Toasted Coconut Foam
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) coconut milk (barista style preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
• Topping (optional)
  • Whipped cream
  • Extra toasted coconut

Instructions

1. Toast the shredded coconut

In a dry skillet over medium heat, stir frequently until golden brown and fragrant (about 2-3 minutes). Set aside to cool.

2. Blend the frappuccino base

Combine milk, chilled coffee, vanilla syrup, vanilla bean seeds or paste, and ice in a blender. Blend until smooth and frothy.

3. Pour into glasses

Divide the blended frappuccino into two tall glasses.

4. Froth the coconut milk

In a separate bowl, froth coconut milk with powdered sugar and vanilla extract using a milk frother or handheld whisk until thick and foamy.

5. Incorporate toasted coconut

Fold in 1 tablespoon of toasted coconut gently into the foam.

6. Top the frappuccino

Spoon the toasted coconut foam over each glass of frappuccino.

7. Add optional toppings

Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with remaining toasted coconut, if desired. Serve immediately.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Toasting the shredded coconut carefully enhances flavor without burning. Use a good quality barista-style coconut milk for a richer, more stable foam. Chill your brewed coffee well in advance to keep the frappuccino refreshingly cold without diluting the flavor.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For a vegan variation, substitute whole milk with plant-based alternatives and use dairy-free whipped cream. Boost the coffee intensity by opting for espresso or cold brew concentrate. Adjust sweetness by increasing or decreasing the vanilla syrup. Add a pinch of cinnamon to introduce a warm spice note.

Serviervorschläge

Serve this frappuccino in tall clear glasses to showcase the layered textures and inviting colors. Accompany with tropical fruit slices or a coconut cookie for a complete summer-inspired experience. Perfect for brunches, poolside treats, or a refreshing afternoon pick-me-up.
