Why I Like This Recipe

It tastes like a cinnamon roll melted into a milkshake… in the best way. I had some of that cinnamon roll syrup (random grocery find) and figured, why not? Tossed stuff in a blender and boom — instant fake barista mode. It’s stupid simple but actually so good.

Ingredients

• 1 cup ice
• 2 shots espresso or ½ cup strong coffee
• ¾ cup milk (any kind)
• 2 tbsp Iced Cinnamon Roll Skinny Syrup
• Whipped cream (optional but let’s be real, it’s not optional)

How To Make Cinnamon Roll Frappuccino

1. Load the blender: Ice, coffee, milk, syrup. In that order kinda helps.
2. Check the liquid: If the ice isn’t mostly covered, add a splash more milk or coffee.
3. Blend: Until smooth and creamy — no chunks, no sad ice pebbles.
4. Top it: Whipped cream, cinnamon if you’re feelin’ fancy. Sip it with a straw that makes you feel like it’s 2009.

Tips for Success

• Use really cold coffee or the ice melts too fast.
• Any milk works — I like oat or whole, depends on my mood.
• Syrup amounts can be played with. Start with 2 tbsp, taste it, adjust.
• If you want it thicker, add more ice. Or less liquid. Blender roulette.

Storage and Reheating

• Storage: Lol no. Just drink it. It’s a frappuccino.
• Reheating: What?? No. Please don’t.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Do I need espresso?
  Nope. Strong brewed coffee works. Instant espresso powder in water? Also fine.
• Can I make this without syrup?
  Kind of. Use cinnamon + vanilla + a bit of sugar. Won’t be exact but still delish.
• Dairy-free options?
  Yes. Oat milk is bomb. Almond’s good too. Just don’t use anything super watery.
• How can I make it thicker?
  Add more ice or less liquid. Or freeze your coffee into cubes. Big brain move.
• What brand syrup do you use?
  Skinny Syrups Iced Cinnamon Roll — found it on Amazon. Pretty sure any cinnamon roll syrup would work.

Common Mistakes and How to Dodge Them

• Too much ice – Blender struggles, texture gets weird.
• Not enough flavor – If it tastes like sadness, add more syrup or cinnamon.
• Warm coffee – Melts the ice = watery. Chill your coffee first.
• Blending too long – Makes it foamy instead of creamy. Stop once it’s smooth.
• Skipping the whipped cream – This isn’t a health drink. Just enjoy it.
