Vanilla Bean Frappuccino (Starbucks Copycat) – A copycat recipe of a Starbucks Vanilla Bean Frappuccino made with just a few simple ingredients! So easy and delicious!

Vanilla Bean Frappuccino (Starbucks Copycat)

Back again with another Starbucks copycat recipe! This time, I decided to make a classic – the vanilla bean frappuccino.  Now this recipe was a favorite of mine when I was little and I didn’t like coffee.  It has a cream base that is hard not to love!

Now for this copycat version, you need just 3 ingredients – vanilla bean ice cream, milk, and ice.  it’s so easy to make and really tastes the same! Something else I love about making Starbucks copycat recipes is how cost-efficient they are.  You can make quite a few of these drinks for the price of just one from the store!

Now I do suggest using vanilla bean ice cream instead of french vanilla or any other variety of ice cream.  It has the closest flavor to the original frappuccino.  Additionally, serving it with whipped cream on top really makes it complete so don’t skip on that! You can add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste if you want a stronger vanilla flavor but I thought just the ice cream was more than enough.
