Vanilla Coffee Frappé
A Vanilla Coffee Frappé is a chilled blended drink made with brewed coffee, whole milk, whipping cream and vanilla bean paste. The Thermomix grinds the sugar superfine, whips the cream and blends everything into a silky, café-style frappé in minutes. Ideal as an afternoon pick-me-up or dessert drink on warm days.
About this recipe
Vanilla Coffee Frappé Thermomix TM7 is the answer for anyone searching for an easy iced coffee recipe that tastes like it came from a professional coffee bar. This blended drink brings together strong brewed coffee, whole milk, whipping cream, vanilla bean paste and finely ground sugar, transforming simple ingredients into a velvety, frothy frappé in a matter of minutes. The all-in-one kitchen machine makes the process wonderfully straightforward: the sugar is milled to a superfine powder so it dissolves instantly without any graininess, while the whipping cream is aerated into soft, cloud-like folds that give the drink its signature texture. Serve it in a tall glass with a straw as a refreshing afternoon snack, a summer garden drink or an after-dinner dessert alternative. Because the quantities are weighed directly into the mixing bowl, the balance of coffee bitterness, dairy richness and vanilla sweetness stays consistent every single time you make it.
Preparation tips
- Chill your brewed coffee completely before blending, ideally in the fridge overnight. Cold coffee means the frappé stays refreshingly icy without diluting, and the vanilla bean paste distributes evenly through the liquid rather than clumping.
- Pour the whipped cream over the blended coffee mixture just before serving rather than blending it fully, giving your Vanilla Coffee Frappé a layered coffee-shop look with a creamy topping and a drizzle of vanilla.
- For a stronger coffee character, use a dark roast or espresso-style brew; for a milder, kid-friendly version, replace part of the coffee with extra whole milk and a touch more vanilla bean paste.
Recipe variations
- Make a lactose-free Vanilla Coffee Frappé by swapping the whole milk for oat milk and the whipping cream for a dairy-free whipping alternative; the vanilla bean paste keeps the flavour identical while the texture stays rich and frothy.
- For a festive mocha variation, add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the sugar before grinding, and finish the frappé with a pinch of cinnamon or grated chocolate over the whipped cream for a winter treat.
