Equipment

Ingredients

For the Base

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp cream cheese

For Flavour Boost

  • 1-2 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Ice cubes

For Topping (Optional but Recommended!)

  • Whipped cream or light whipped cream
  • Fresh strawberries
  • Strawberry syrup drizzle

Instructions

Blend it Up

  • Start by pouring about a cup of unsweetened almond milk into the blender. Though any milk works if you have a favorite.
    Then toss in a full cup of frozen strawberries for that bright, berry-fresh look.
  • Then, for that cheesecake-like richness, add a big scoop of thick Greek yogurt and a teaspoon of cream cheese. Trust me, it makes all the difference!

Right Amount of Sweetness

  • To sweeten things up without going overboard, I usually add a teaspoon (sometimes two!) of honey or maple syrup.
    It totally depends on how much sweet you like to make it.
    A splash of vanilla extract rounds it out with that soft, dessert-like depth.

Add Ice Cubes for Creamy Texture

  • Then, throw in a handful of ice cubes to get that frosty texture.
    Continue to blend it all until it has a smooth and creamy appearance.
    Sometimes I give it an extra few seconds just to make it super silky.

Pour into a Tall Glass

  • Now the fun part is, pour that dreamy pink blend into a tall glass, and if I’m feeling a little extra (which, let’s be honest, I usually am),
    I top it off with a swirl of lightly whipped cream, a few fresh strawberry slices, and a drizzle of strawberry syrup for that glossy finish

Sip, Relax & Enjoy!

  • Pop in a clear straw, give it a mix, and boom!!! Your guilt-free cheesecake-in-a-cup is ready to sip.
    It’s my go-to for a light, indulgent treat that tastes just as amazing as it looks.

Notes

Pro Tips

  • Use Frozen Strawberries – They make the frappuccino thicker and creamier without needing extra ice, which can water it down.
  • Chill Your Glass – For an extra frosty experience, pop your serving glass in the freezer for 5-10 minutes before pouring.
  • Experiment with Flavors – Try adding a dash of cinnamon for warmth or a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten the strawberry flavor.
  • Make it Dairy-Free – Use dairy-free yogurt and cream cheese for a completely plant-based version.
  • Extra Frosty— pour the almond milk into an ice cube tray and use those instead of regular ice to prevent dilution.
Add Avacado– It blends seamlessly into the drink, adding an extra layer of creaminess without changing the flavor. It is also packed with healthy fats, making the frappuccino more satisfying.
