Strawberry Shortcake Frappe

strawberry shortcake frappe

A dreamy, frosty blend of strawberries, cake, and vanilla ice cream, this Strawberry Shortcake Frappe is the ultimate summer dessert drink. It’s quick, customizable, and tastes just like sipping strawberry shortcake through a straw.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (or frozen strawberries)
  • 1 cup pound cake or shortcake, cut into cubes
  • 1 cup milk (whole, almond, oat, or preferred type)
  • 1 cup vanilla ice cream (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 12 tablespoons sugar, honey, or agave (to taste)
  • Whipped cream, for topping (optional, dairy or non-dairy)
  • Strawberry syrup or jam, for extra flavor (optional)

Instructions

  1. Hull and slice the strawberries. Cut the pound cake or shortcake into bite-sized cubes.
  2. Add strawberries, cake cubes, milk, vanilla ice cream, and ice cubes to a blender.
  3. Taste the strawberries; if not sweet enough, add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar, honey, or agave.
  4. Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until smooth and thick. Add more milk if too thick, or more ice/cake if too thin.
  5. Check the texture and pulse for a chunkier consistency if desired.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness or strawberry flavor by adding more sugar or a spoonful of strawberry jam/syrup, then blend again if needed.
  7. Pour into a glass. Top with whipped cream, extra strawberry slices, and cake crumbs if desired.
  8. Serve immediately with a straw.

Notes

For best results, use ripe strawberries and chilled ingredients. Freeze cake cubes for an extra-thick frappe. Adjust sweetness to taste and pulse blend for a chunkier texture. For a vegan or dairy-free version, use plant-based milk, non-dairy ice cream, and coconut whipped cream. Serve immediately for best texture; leftovers can be stored in the fridge and re-blended with ice.
