I am looking for the exact recipe for Starbuck's blended vanilla frappuccino.
By felicia nelson from Torrance, CA
So this is the actual Starbucks recipe for a Vanilla Bean Frappucino (no coffee): (I work at a Starbucks.)
Approx. 1 c. ice
2,3,4 pumps cream frappucino base (depending on size)
2,3,4 scoops vanilla bean powder (depending on size)
Approx. 1/4 c. whole, 2%, or non-fat milk (your choice)
Blend until smooth (by the way, 1 pump is approx. 1/2 oz.)
Top with vanilla whipped cream (Starbucks whipped cream is made with Vanilla syrup)
If you were going to make this yourself, I'd use more milk and add sweetener to taste for the base (they don't sell the base at Starbucks so you'll have to improvise). Then use vanilla extract or if you can find vanilla bean powder at a grocery store, use that. The cream frap base is basically just dried milk and sugar that we mix with more milk and water. Good luck, hope this helps! :)

I love the frozen drinks at Starbucks, but they are so expensive. Does anyone have any recipes that are as smooth and creamy as Starbucks and, needless to say, as yummy?
