Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Strong brewed coffee (cooled)
- 0.5 cup Skim milk
- 1.5 cups Ice cubes
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 tablespoons Granulated or powdered stevia (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 tablespoon Sugar-free coffee syrup (optional, for additional flavor)
Instructions
Prepare strong brewed coffee and allow it to cool completely. You can use leftover coffee or chill it in the refrigerator for a few hours.
In a high-powered blender, combine the cooled coffee, skim milk, ice cubes, vanilla extract, and stevia (or your sweetener of choice).
If desired, add sugar-free coffee syrup for extra flavor (such as caramel or vanilla).
Blend the mixture on high speed until the ice is completely crushed and the drink reaches a smooth and creamy consistency, about 30-60 seconds.
Taste the frappuccino and adjust the sweetness if needed, by adding more sweetener and blending again briefly.
Pour the drink into a tall glass and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with a light dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon (these toppings are not light but can be added for indulgence).
Enjoy your homemade Starbucks Coffee Light Frappuccino!
