Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk (any kind, dairy or non-dairy)
- ½ cup (120 ml) brewed coffee, chilled (or 12 shots of espresso)
- ¼ cup (60 ml) creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup (60 ml) chocolate syrup
- ½ cup (120 ml) ice
- 2 tbsps sugar (adjust to taste)
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 scoop vanilla ice cream or 2 tbsps whipped topping (for extra creaminess)

Instructions
- Preparation: Chill blender and gather all ingredients – cold coffee, milk, peanut butter, chocolate syrup, sugar, vanilla extract, and ice cubes.
- Blending: Transfer ingredients into the blender, securing lid tightly and pulsing on high speed until the mixture transforms into a smooth, frosty consistency with no visible chunks.
- Consistency Adjustment: Evaluate drink’s texture, adding extra ice or vanilla ice cream to achieve desired thickness and incorporating additional chocolate syrup, peanut butter, or sugar to balance flavor profile.
- Garnishing: Select a chilled tall glass and gracefully pour the frappuccino, topping with a generous cloud of whipped cream and artfully drizzling chocolate syrup or sprinkling crushed Reeses pieces for visual and flavor complexity.
- Serving: Present the beverage immediately, celebrating the harmonious blend of coffee, chocolate, and peanut butter in a refreshing, indulgent drink.
Notes
- Chill Ingredients Thoroughly: Cold ingredients ensure a frosty, smooth texture and prevent melting during blending, maintaining the drink’s ideal consistency.
- Blend with Precision: Pulse and blend on high speed to create a velvety smooth mixture, avoiding clumpy peanut butter or uneven ice distribution.
- Customize Sweetness Carefully: Taste and adjust flavors incrementally, adding chocolate syrup or sugar gradually to prevent over-sweetening the drink.
- Experiment with Dietary Alternatives: Swap dairy milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk for a vegan version; use sugar-free chocolate syrup and a sugar substitute for a low-calorie option.
