📝 Ingredients (1 generous serving – double for sharing with a lover ❤️)

🍓 For the Drink:

  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based like oat, almond, or coconut)
  • ¼ cup strawberry purée (fresh or frozen strawberries blended)
  • ½ cup vanilla ice cream OR ½ cup Greek yogurt (for a healthier twist)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tbsp white chocolate syrup (or sweetened condensed milk)
  • 1 tbsp graham cracker crumbs (optional but heavenly!)
  • 1–1½ cups ice

🍦 For Topping:

  • Whipped cream
  • Extra strawberry drizzle or purée
  • Crushed graham crackers or shortbread cookies

🛠️ Equipment Needed:

  • Blender
  • Glass jar or tall cup
  • Straw (extra thick if you’re going with whipped cream!)
  • Measuring cups and spoons

🧪 Method

1. Make the Strawberry Purée:

If you’re using fresh strawberries:

  • Wash and hull about ½ cup strawberries.
  • Blend them with a teaspoon of sugar or honey until smooth.

If using frozen:

  • Microwave slightly or let thaw, then blend with a splash of water.

2. Blend the Base:

In your blender, combine:

  • Milk
  • Strawberry purée
  • Vanilla extract
  • Ice cream or yogurt
  • White chocolate syrup
  • Ice
  • Optional: graham cracker crumbs for that shortcake texture

Blend until smooth and frothy. The ice should be crushed completely, and the texture should be creamy like a frappuccino.

3. Assemble with Love:

  • Swirl some strawberry purée inside your glass.
  • Pour in your blended frappuccino.
  • Top with clouds of whipped cream.
  • Drizzle with extra strawberry purée and sprinkle with crushed graham crackers or cookies.

📖 History & Formation
