✨ Quick Look at the Recipe:

Kristy’s POV:
Some afternoons just call for a cold, sweet escape! I love making this frappuccino at home because it’s faster, cheaper, and honestly, even more delicious than the coffee shop versions. Plus, the kids LOVE making their own versions too! 🍪

Blending the Base:

• Add milk, ice, chocolate ice cream, and cookie crumbs into your blender.

• Top with whipped cream and sprinkle over cookie crumbles for the ultimate cookies & cream experience.

🛒 Ingredient Details and Substitution Tips:

• Milk: 1% milk keeps it lighter; almond milk, oat milk, or skim milk work perfectly too.
