Short Description

A sweet and creamy frappuccino inspired by Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. This treat combines coffee, milk, peanut butter, chocolate syrup, and whipped cream for a dreamy indulgence.

Key Ingredients

1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
1 cup milk (any kind)
2 tbsp peanut butter
2 tbsp chocolate syrup
1-2 tbsp sugar (to taste)
1 cup ice
Whipped cream (for topping)
Extra chocolate syrup (for drizzling)

Tools Needed

Blender
Tall glass
Spoon or straw (for stirring)

Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Preparing the Frappuccino
Brew a cup of your favorite coffee, then let it cool to room temperature. In a blender, combine the cooled coffee, milk, peanut butter, chocolate syrup, sugar, and ice.

Blend everything on high until smooth and creamy. You want the ice to break down completely, creating a thick and frothy texture.

Step 2: Serving the Frappuccino
Once blended, pour the frappuccino mixture into a tall glass. This drink is made to be enjoyed with a generous serving of whipped cream on top, so go ahead and swirl a big dollop right on top.

For a little extra indulgence, drizzle more chocolate syrup over the whipped cream.

Step 3: Enjoy Your Treat
Grab a straw, mix it all together, and take a sip of this indulgent Reese’s Peanut Butter Frappuccino.

The layers of flavors from the peanut butter, chocolate, and coffee meld perfectly to create a delightful treat that’s rich, refreshing, and oh-so-satisfying.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Rich and creamy: The peanut butter and chocolate syrup make for a rich, dessert-like experience.

Customizable sweetness: You can easily adjust the sugar to your liking, making it as sweet as you want.

Quick and easy: With just a few ingredients and a blender, this frappuccino is ready in no time.

Mistakes to Avoid & Solutions

Too thin of a consistency – If your frappuccino turns out too thin, try adding more ice or blending a bit longer.

Not enough peanut butter flavor – If you want a stronger peanut butter taste, add an extra tablespoon of peanut butter.

Too much sugar – If it’s too sweet, reduce the sugar by half or skip it altogether, especially if you’re using sweetened peanut butter.

Over-blending – Be careful not to over-blend the ice, or it may turn into a smoothie instead of a frappuccino.

Not enough chocolate flavor – You can always increase the amount of chocolate syrup for a richer chocolate taste.

Serving and Pairing Suggestions

Serve your Reese’s Peanut Butter Frappuccino alongside a slice of chocolate cake, a peanut butter cookie, or even a light, fresh salad if you’re balancing it with something savory.

It pairs wonderfully with a light sandwich or a savory snack like avocado toast.

For a fun twist, serve it in a mason jar or clear mug to show off the beautiful layers.

Storage and Reheating Tips

This frappuccino is best served fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can store the unblended mixture in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

Simply re-blend with some ice before serving. If your whipped cream melts, you can always top it off with fresh whipped cream before enjoying it again.

FAQs

1. Can I make this frappuccino without coffee?
Yes! You can substitute the coffee with cold brew or even milk if you prefer a non-caffeinated version.

2. Can I use non-dairy milk?
Absolutely! Almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk work just as well and will add a slightly different flavor to the frappuccino.

3. Can I use crunchy peanut butter instead of smooth?
Sure! Crunchy peanut butter will give the frappuccino a fun texture, but keep in mind it may not blend as smoothly.

4. How can I make this frappuccino dairy-free?
Simply swap the milk for a non-dairy alternative (like oat or almond milk) and use dairy-free whipped cream to make it fully dairy-free.

5. Can I make this in advance?
While it’s best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare the mixture and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good blend before serving.

Tips & Tricks

– For an extra indulgent treat, add a few crushed peanut butter cups or chocolate chips into the blender for a bit of extra texture.
