- 2 tablespoons sugar (or to taste, optional)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- Whipped cream , for topping (optional)
- Chocolate syrup or crushed Reese’s Pieces , for drizzling and garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Brew and Cool the Coffee
- Brew your favorite coffee using your preferred method (drip, French press, etc.). Measure out 1 cup and let it cool to room temperature. You can speed up the process by placing it in the refrigerator or adding a few ice cubes.
Step 2: Blend the Ingredients
- In a blender, combine the cooled coffee , milk , peanut butter , and sugar (if using). Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy.
- Add 1 cup of ice cubes to the blender and blend again until the mixture is thick, frothy, and slushy-like. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a splash more milk and blend briefly.
Step 3: Assemble and Garnish
- Pour the blended frappuccino into a tall glass.
- Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream if desired.
- Drizzle chocolate syrup over the whipped cream for a decadent touch.
- Sprinkle crushed Reese’s Pieces or a pinch of chocolate shavings on top for extra flair and flavor.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
- Grab a straw or sip straight from the glass and enjoy this indulgent treat! It’s perfect as an afternoon pick-me-up or a sweet after-dinner drink.
Tips for Success
- Peanut Butter Choice: Use natural peanut butter for a healthier option, but ensure it’s well-stirred to avoid oil separation. For a sweeter taste, opt for regular creamy peanut butter.
- Sweetness Adjustment: Adjust the sugar based on your preference and the sweetness of your peanut butter. You can also use honey, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute.
- Make It Decadent: Add a tablespoon of chocolate syrup or cocoa powder to the blender for a Reese’s-inspired chocolate twist.
- Storage: This drink is best enjoyed fresh. However, you can store any leftover blended mixture in the fridge for up to 1 day . Shake or stir before serving, as separation may occur.
