Not-So-Fancy Frappuccino

A sweet refreshment that's cheaper than Starbucks...you can't go wrong!

So, I'm really excited about this recipe... I have an affinity for coffee creamer & this is the first recipe I've discovered that uses it! I'm sure there's more out there, but I haven't found them. Maybe I should create one myself. Hmmm...

Anyway, this is another really easy treat. It takes a little more time (since you have to freeze the coffee) but it's well worth it - plus you won't be wasting any more leftover coffee down the drain! I don't ever have leftover coffee since we have a Keurig (which is one of my favorite appliances ever) but people who use coffee pots usually do.

I love this recipe because it is completely customizable - there's an endless combination of flavors, depending on your personal preferences! I used Van Houtte vanilla-hazelnut coffee with Bailey's French Vanilla creamer & it was absolutely delicious. (I know the picture shows 2 different creamers, but I ended up only using the one on the left. Although they're both quite yummy).

 All you have to do is pour coffee in an ice cube tray & wait for it to freeze.

Then, put the cubes in a blender & pour some creamer over them (I forgot to measure how much...but enough to wet the ice cubes, I guess? Use your judgment...), then blend until there are no large ice chunks!

Garnish with whipped cream, flavored syrups, sprinkles, or whatever your little heart desires!

My finished product... :)
