Instructions
- Gather your chilled ingredients and prepare a powerful blender to create a velvety smooth Reeses Peanut Butter Frappuccino.
- Combine cold coffee, milk, peanut butter, chocolate syrup, sugar, vanilla extract, and a generous handful of ice cubes into the blender.
- Pulse and blend the mixture on high speed, ensuring all ingredients are thoroughly integrated and transformed into a silky, frosty consistency.
- Assess the texture and thickness, incorporating additional ice or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if a more substantial drink is desired.
- Taste the blended concoction, carefully adjusting the sweetness and flavor intensity by introducing more chocolate syrup, peanut butter, or sugar as needed.
- Select a tall, chilled glass and carefully pour the frappuccino, allowing the rich mixture to cascade smoothly.
- Crown the beverage with a lavish dollop of whipped cream, creating a cloud-like topping.
- Elevate the presentation by drizzling extra chocolate syrup or sprinkling crushed Reeses pieces across the whipped cream for a decadent finishing touch.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the indulgent, cold beverage that marries the classic flavors of coffee, chocolate, and peanut butter.
Notes
- Customize the sweetness by gradually adding sugar, tasting as you go to avoid an overly sugary drink.
- Swap dairy milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk for a vegan-friendly version that still maintains a creamy texture.
- Reduce calories by using sugar-free chocolate syrup and a sugar substitute like stevia or monk fruit sweetener.
- Enhance the protein content by adding a scoop of peanut butter protein powder instead of regular peanut butter, perfect for a post-workout treat.
