How to Make This Frappuccino Without a Blender
No blender? No problem! You can still enjoy this creamy Strawberry Cheesecake Frappuccino using these simple methods:
✔️ Mason Jar Method – Add all liquid ingredients to a mason jar, seal tightly, and shake vigorously for 2–3 minutes until frothy. Pour over ice and top with whipped cream and graham crackers.
✔️ Hand Mixer or Whisk – Blend the milk, strawberry purée, sugar, and vanilla extract using a whisk or hand mixer until well combined. Pour over crushed ice, mix, and garnish.
✔️ Food Processor – If you don’t have a blender but have a food processor, pulse everything together until smooth.
This method may not be as frosty as a blended version, but the flavor will still be amazing!
