Next, add your choice of milk—dairy or non-dairy works beautifully—and a generous handful of ice to create that signature slushy texture. If you prefer a sweeter beverages, throw in your desired amount of sugar or sweetener at this stage.

Step 3: Blend Until Smooth
Cover your blender and blend the mixture on high for 30–60 seconds. Keep blending until you achieve a smooth, pale, and frothy consistency, reminiscent of a thick milkshake. The ice should transform into a creamy texture, blending effortlessly with the coffee and milk, giving you that café-style frappuccino experience.

Step 4: Serve Immediately
Once blended to perfection, grab a chilled glass and pour the frothy frappuccino into it. Aim for a thick, airy texture topped with a light foam cap. This presentation not only enhances the visual appeal but also maintains the delightful chill that makes this drink so refreshing.
