We’ll guide you through every step, from gathering ingredients to serving suggestions, ensuring your Vanilla Frappe is perfection in a glass.
A Vanilla Frappe is a blended iced drink, made with ice, vanilla syrup, coffee, and milk. It is known for its creamy texture and sweet, comforting flavor. While it may sound simple, achieving the perfect balance of ingredients can be a little tricky. That’s where your Thermomix steps in to make the process smooth and hassle-free.
To start with, you'll need a few basic ingredients that are usually easy to find in your pantry or local grocery store:
First, gather all your ingredients and make sure they are measured accurately for the best results.
Place the milk, sugar, vanilla extract, ice cubes, and espresso (if using) into the Thermomix bowl.
Set your Thermomix to blend at high speed (around Speed 10) for approximately 30 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and frothy.
Give your mixture a quick taste to ensure the sweetness is to your liking. If necessary, add more sugar or vanilla extract and blend for another 10 seconds.
Pour your velvety Vanilla Frappe into a tall glass. Top with whipped cream and garnish with vanilla beans or sprinkles for an extra touch of indulgence.
Always start with less sugar and add more as needed. Everyone’s sweetness preference varies, so taste as you go.
Your choice of milk can greatly affect the consistency of your frappe. Whole milk will provide a creamier texture, while almond or soy milk offers a lighter alternative.
If you enjoy a coffee flavor, adding a shot of espresso or strong brewed coffee can elevate your Vanilla Frappe to the next level.
Yes, you can use any type of milk, including almond, soy, or oat milk, to make your Vanilla Frappe.
For a thicker frappe, simply add more ice cubes and blend until you reach the desired consistency.
Absolutely! The coffee is optional; if you prefer, you can leave it out and still enjoy a delicious Vanilla Frappe.
It is best to consume your frappe immediately for the best texture. However, you can store leftovers in the refrigerator and blend again before serving.
If you don’t have vanilla extract, vanilla syrup or vanilla bean paste can be used as substitutes for a similar flavor.
