Before we jump into the instructions, let’s talk about the ingredients. Each one plays a key role in creating that perfect sugar cookie flavor with a fruity twist. Here’s what you’ll need:

1. Whole Milk (1 cup)

Milk forms the creamy base of this drink. You can use almond milk, oat milk, or any other milk alternative if you prefer.

2. Heavy Cream (½ cup)

Heavy cream adds richness and a velvety texture. For a lighter option, you can use half-and-half.

3. Frozen Strawberries (½ cup)

Frozen strawberries bring natural sweetness and a vibrant pink hue. They also help create that thick, frosty consistency.

4. Vanilla Pudding Mix (2 tbsp)

This is the secret ingredient for that sugar cookie flavor! It adds a sweet, creamy, and slightly custardy taste.

5. Sugar or Honey (2 tbsp)

Sweeten the drink to your liking. I prefer honey for a natural touch, but sugar works just as well.

6. Vanilla Extract (½ tsp)

Vanilla enhances the sugar cookie flavor and adds warmth to the drink.

7. Almond Extract (½ tsp)

A hint of almond extract is key to mimicking that classic sugar cookie taste. Don’t skip this!

8. Ice (1 cup)

Ice is essential for that frosty, blended consistency we all love in a Frappuccino.

Toppings:

9. Whipped Cream

Because what’s a Frappuccino without a fluffy whipped cream topping?

10. Pink Sugar Sprinkles

These add a fun, festive touch and a little extra sweetness.

11. Crushed Sugar Cookies

For that authentic frosted sugar cookie vibe, crushed cookies are a must.

12. Strawberry Syrup (optional drizzle)

A drizzle inside the glass or on top adds a touch of sweetness and makes the drink look extra fancy.

Now that we’ve covered the ingredients, let’s get blending! This recipe is so simple, you’ll wonder why you ever waited in line at Starbucks.

Blend the Base

  1. Add the milk, heavy cream, frozen strawberries, vanilla pudding mix, sugar (or honey), vanilla extract, almond extract, and ice to a high-speed blender.
  2. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more milk to reach your desired consistency.

Layer the Aesthetic

  1. Take a clear glass (to show off those pretty layers!) and drizzle strawberry syrup along the inside. This adds a touch of sweetness and makes the drink look Instagram-worthy.

Pour & Top

  1. Pour the blended mixture into the prepared glass.
  2. Top it with a generous swirl of whipped cream.
  3. Sprinkle pink sugar sprinkles and crushed sugar cookies over the whipped cream for a festive touch.
  4. For an extra touch, drizzle a little more strawberry syrup on top.
  • Use frozen strawberries: This eliminates the need for extra ice and keeps the drink thick and creamy.
  • Adjust sweetness: Taste the mixture before pouring and add more sugar or honey if needed.
  • Experiment with toppings: Try adding rainbow sprinkles or a drizzle of white chocolate syrup for extra flair.
  • Make it vegan: Use dairy-free milk, coconut whipped cream, and vegan sugar cookies.

People Also Ask (PAA)

Can I use fresh strawberries instead of frozen?

Yes, but you’ll need to add more ice to achieve the right consistency. Frozen strawberries work best for a thick, slushy texture.

How can I make this drink healthier?

Swap the sugar for a low-calorie sweetener like stevia, and skip the whipped cream and sprinkles.

Can I make this ahead of time?

It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can prep the ingredients in advance and blend when ready.

What other extracts can I use?

Try adding a dash of butter extract for an even more authentic sugar cookie flavor.
