How to Make Vanilla Bean Frappuccino

  • Start by adding ice, milk, and vanilla bean ice cream into your blender. Make sure to include enough ice to reach your desired thickness, usually around 2 cups.
  • Carefully split the vanilla bean lengthwise with a knife. Use the back of the knife to scrape out those precious seeds, ensuring maximum flavor in your frappuccino.
  • Incorporate the scraped vanilla bean seeds into the blender along with your other ingredients.
  • Blend all ingredients together until you achieve a creamy, smooth consistency—usually takes about 30-45 seconds.
  • Pour the frappuccino into a tall glass and crown it with whipped cream if desired.
