Starbucks Strawberry Frappuccino (Copycat Recipe)

The first time I ordered a strawberry frappuccino at Starbucks, I was surprised to learn it didn’t contain any coffee. That creamy pink drink quickly became one of my favorite warm-weather treats. After spending too much money at the drive-thru, I decided to recreate it at home. This simple recipe captures the same creamy strawberry flavor with just a few ingredients and takes about five minutes to make.

Strawberry Crème Frappuccino

This strawberry and cream frappe is sure to put a smile on anyone’s face.

Starbucks has a large variety of beverages available to its patrons. Most of them are coffee or espresso-based, but there are a few drinks made for non-coffee drinkers. They offer teas, handmade sodas, and cream-based frappuccinos.

Why This Recipe Works

The secret to an authentic strawberry frappuccino lies in creating the perfect blend of textures. Using both fresh (or frozen) strawberries and strawberry syrup provides a dual layer of flavor – the fresh berry brightness and the concentrated sweet syrup that gives the signature Starbucks taste. Vanilla ice cream creates a richer base than Starbucks’ standard milk-and-syrup formula, resulting in a creamier, more indulgent drink that actually improves on the original.

Ingredients

• Vanilla ice cream – Creates a rich, creamy base that gives the frappuccino its smooth texture
• Strawberries – Provide fresh fruit flavor and natural sweetness
• Strawberry syrup or jam – Adds concentrated strawberry flavor and the signature pink color
• Milk – Helps create the perfect blendable consistency
• Ice – Gives the frappuccino its signature frozen texture
• Whipped cream – Creates the classic frappuccino topping that adds a final touch of indulgence

CopyKat Tip: Use frozen strawberries instead of fresh and omit the ice. It makes the frappe a little bit creamier in my opinion.

How to Make a Strawberry Frappuccino

1. In a blender, layer the ingredients starting with the ice cream and ending with ice.
2. Blend until smooth.
3. Pour into a glass and top with whipped cream.
