Instructions
- Gather Your Goodies:: First things first, get all your ingredients out. I always do this because, honestly, I’ve started blending only to realize I forgot the peanut butter – a cardinal sin for a Creamy Reese’s Peanut Butter Frappuccino! Make sure your coffee is chilled; this is critical for that frosty texture we’re aiming for. No warm coffee, please, unless you want a sad, watery drink. I usually brew a strong cup in the morning and let it cool down in the fridge for a few hours.
- Into the Blender They Go:: Now, pour your chilled coffee, milk, creamy peanut butter, chocolate syrup, sugar, and vanilla extract into your blender. Make sure your blender is a sturdy one; we’re about to put it to work! I always put the liquids in first, then the thicker stuff, just to help things get moving. This step is where all the magic starts to happen, creating the base for our Creamy Reese’s Peanut Butter Frappuccino. Don’t worry if it looks a little separated at first; the ice will fix that.
- Add the Ice, Blend Away!:: Next, dump in all those glorious ice cubes. And I mean *all* of them! Secure that lid tightly – remember my peanut butter explosion story? Learn from my mistakes, hon! Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and thick, like a proper Creamy Reese’s Peanut Butter Frappuccino should be. You might need to pause and scrape down the sides a few times with a spatula to ensure everything gets incorporated. Listen to that satisfying whir!
- Taste and Adjust:: Give it a little taste test. This is important! Does it need more sweetness? A bit more chocolate? Maybe another spoon of peanut butter if you’re feeling extra indulgent? Now’s the time to tweak it. I often add a tiny splash more vanilla if I feel it needs a little something extra. This is your drink, make it perfect for you!
- Pour and Garnish:: Once you’re happy with the taste and consistency, pour your beautiful Creamy Reese’s Peanut Butter Frappuccino into a tall glass. I like to drizzle a little extra chocolate syrup inside the glass before pouring for that fancy coffee shop look. It’s a small detail, but it makes it feel special, honestly!
- The Grand Finale:: Top that glorious drink with a generous swirl of whipped cream. And for the ultimate touch, sprinkle those mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups right on top. You can even shave some chocolate if you’re feeling extra. Take a moment to admire your handiwork. It should look absolutely decadent, smell like a dream, and taste like pure, frosty peanut butter chocolate bliss. Enjoy your homemade Creamy Reese’s Peanut Butter Frappuccino!
