What You’ll Need
- 1 cup of gelato (flavor of your choice)
- 1 cup of milk
- 1 cup of ice
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate syrup or fruit toppings
- A blender
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Scoop out 1 cup of your favorite gelato flavor. Whether you love vanilla, chocolate, or a fruity sorbet, this is the core ingredient that gives your frappe its delectable taste.
2. Pour 1 cup of milk into the blender. Whole milk works best for a creamier texture, but feel free to use any milk variety you prefer.
3. Add 1 cup of ice to the blender. The ice gives your frappe that slushy consistency we all love.
4. Time to add your scoops of gelato to the blender. Ensure they are evenly distributed across the other ingredients.
5. Blend all the ingredients together on medium-high speed until fully combined and smooth. It usually takes about 30 seconds to a minute.
6. Grab your favorite glass and pour the frappe mixture into it. Leave some space at the top for toppings.
Garnishing Your Gelato Frappe
Now that you have your smooth and creamy gelato frappe, let’s take it to the next level with some delicious garnishes.
1. Give your frappe a generous dollop of whipped cream on top. This adds an extra touch of creaminess and elegance.
2. Drizzle some chocolate syrup over the whipped cream if you opted for a chocolate gelato base. Alternatively, if you chose a fruit gelato, add some fresh fruit pieces as a garnish.
3. Add a colorful straw and maybe even a cute umbrella to make your gelato frappe feel like a tropical vacation in a glass.

Now that your gelato frappe is perfectly garnished, it’s time to sit back, relax, and enjoy your homemade creation. Sip on the creamy goodness and savor the flavors that you crafted with your own hands.
