Valentine's Day Frappuccino Recipe

Valentine's day is coming up! If you want something special to drink, try out this Valentine's Day frappuccino. I first found it on StarbucksSecretMenu and adapted it to work with my base frappuccino recipe. It's pretty tasty and is basically a Chocolate Raspberry Frappuccino. Two super delicious flavors that should come together more often!

This recipe is a single serving and makes about the equivalent of a 16oz Grande from Starbucks.

Ingredients:

• 2c ice
• 3/4c milk / or / Half&Half / or / Whipping Cream etc.
• 2 tbsp White Chocolate Syrup / or / chocolate sauce / or / Torani's Chocolate Milano Syrup / or / White Chocolate Sauce
• 3 tbsp/pumps Raspberry Syrup
• 1 tbsp simple syrup
• about 1/8c - 1/4c chocolate chips - I wouldn't use more than 1/4c, but that's your call (optional)
• Pinch of Xantham Gum (optional)

Caffeinated Version

Replace 1/4 cup of the milk with Strong Coffee

Topping Suggestions:

• Whipped topping
• Torani raspberry syrup
• Raspberry Sauce
• Strawberry Sauce (yeah, it's not the right flavor, but it has the right color and is easier to find)
• Chocolate Sauce
• Wilton Heart Sprinkles

Utensils:

• Blender - I use a Magic Bullet at home, it's great for making individual drinks though doesn't blend quite as well as the Vitamix
• Ice cube trays - small ice cubes make for even easier blending
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Cups for serving
• Straws - I'm a fan of reusable ones

Time to blend it all together! Make sure those chocolate chips get blended well.

Top with your choice of decorations. I went with just whipped topping and Wilton Heart sprinkles this time, but both chocolate and raspberry (or strawberry) sauce would be good.

I like the way this frappe looks. It has a strong color and the chocolate chips look nice in it!
