1/2 cup whole milk or plant-based milk such as almond or oat

→ Color and Garnish
08 -
1 to 2 drops blue food coloring or a pinch of blue spirulina powder
09 -
Whipped cream, for topping
10 -
Blue sugar crystals or shredded coconut, for garnish
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Combine frozen pineapple, coconut milk, milk, cream of coconut, vanilla extract, sweetener, and ice in a high-powered blender. Blend on high speed for 2 minutes, or until completely smooth and creamy with no visible chunks.
02 -
Add a small drop of blue food coloring or blue spirulina powder to the blended mixture. Pulse to blend and gradually add more coloring if needed, mixing until the desired pastel blue shade is reached.
03 -
Divide the frappuccino evenly between two tall, chilled glasses, filling each to the brim for optimal presentation.
04 -
Top each glass with a generous swirl of whipped cream. Sprinkle with blue sugar crystals or shredded coconut to create a wave effect.
05 -
Insert a straw and serve at once while the drink remains frosty and the garnishes are fresh.
# Additional Suggestions:
01 -
For best texture, blend and serve immediately. Adjust blue coloring gradually for a natural ocean shade, and swap mango for pineapple if desired for a different tropical twist.
02 -
Dairy free when prepared with plant-based milk. Garnishes can be customized with seasonal fruits or festive colored sugars.
03 -
To make ahead, prepare the mixture without ice or coloring and chill. Blend in ice and color just before serving for a thick, slushy texture.
