Ingredients You’ll Need

How to Make a Reese’s Peanut Butter Frappuccino
This recipe is as simple as blend, pour, and enjoy!
Step 1: Prepare the Frappuccino Base
- Start by brewing 1 cup of coffee and letting it cool completely. If you’re in a hurry, you can place it in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes.
- Once cooled, add the coffee, milk, peanut butter, chocolate syrup, sugar, and ice into a blender.
💡 Pro Tip: If you want an even richer texture, use frozen coffee cubes instead of regular ice!
Step 2: Blend Until Smooth
- Blend everything on high speed for about 30-45 seconds until the mixture is thick, creamy, and smooth.
- If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk to thin it out. If it’s too thin, add a little more ice and blend again.
At this stage, your Reese’s Peanut Butter Frappuccino is looking absolutely irresistible but we’re not done yet!
Now that we’ve blended together rich coffee, creamy peanut butter, smooth chocolate syrup, and ice, your Reese’s Peanut Butter Frappuccino is ready to be served! But let’s take it up a notch and give it that café-style presentation that makes every sip feel extra indulgent.
In this next step, we’ll go over how to serve, garnish, and customize your frappuccino so you can enjoy it just the way you like it.
Step 3: Pour and Serve
Once your frappuccino is thick, creamy, and well blended, it’s time to pour it into a glass:
- Grab a tall glass and drizzle some extra chocolate syrup inside for that signature coffeehouse look.
- Carefully pour the blended frappuccino into the glass, filling it almost to the top.
💡 Pro Tip: If you want your drink to stay extra cold and thick, chill your glass in the freezer for a few minutes before pouring!
Step 4: Top It Off!
A frappuccino isn’t complete without a little something extra on top. Here’s how to make it extra special:
✔ Whipped Cream Swirl – Add a generous swirl of whipped cream for that light, fluffy topping.
✔ Chocolate Syrup Drizzle – Drizzle more chocolate syrup over the whipped cream for extra decadence.
✔ Peanut Butter Drizzle – Warm a teaspoon of peanut butter and drizzle it over the top for even more Reese’s flavor!
✔ Crushed Reese’s Pieces – Sprinkle some crushed Reese’s candies or mini chocolate chips for a fun, crunchy finish.
At this point, your Reese’s Peanut Butter Frappuccino looks just as amazing as it tastes—but before you take that first sip, let’s go over some fun variations to customize your drink!

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I make this without coffee?
Absolutely! If you want a caffeine-free version, simply replace the brewed coffee with:
- Milk (for a creamy, milkshake-like drink)

For an extra thick and frosty frappuccino:

- Add ½ of a frozen banana for a natural thickener.
- Blend in ½ cup of vanilla ice cream for a dessert-like treat.

- Adjust the texture by adding more ice if needed.
4. What’s the best way to store leftovers?
Frappuccinos are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers:
