Valentine's day is coming up! If you want something special to drink, try out this Valentine's Day frappuccino. I first found it on StarbucksSecretMenu and adapted it to work with my base frappuccino recipe. It's pretty tasty and is basically a Chocolate Raspberry Frappuccino. Two super delicious flavors that should come together more often!

Step 1: Supplies

This recipe is a single serving and makes about the equivalent of a 16oz Grande from Starbucks.

Ingredients:

2c ice
3/4c milk / or / Half&Half / or / Whipping Cream etc.
2 tbsp White Chocolate Syrup / or / chocolate sauce / or / Torani's Chocolate Milano Syrup / or / White Chocolate Sauce
3 tbsp/pumps Raspberry Syrup
1 tbsp simple syrup
about 1/8c - 1/4c chocolate chips - I wouldn't use more than 1/4c, but that's your call (optional)
Pinch of Xantham Gum (optional)

Caffeinated Version

Replace 1/4 cup of the milk with Strong Coffee

Topping Suggestions:

Whipped topping
Torani raspberry syrup
Raspberry Sauce
Strawberry Sauce (yeah, it's not the right flavor, but it has the right color and is easier to find)
Chocolate Sauce
Wilton Heart Sprinkles

Utensils:

Blender - I use a Magic Bullet at home, it's great for making individual drinks though doesn't blend quite as well as the Vitamix
Ice cube trays - small ice cubes make for even easier blending
Measuring cups and spoons
Cups for serving
Straws - I'm a fan of reusable ones

Step 2: Blend and Top

Time to blend it all together! Make sure those chocolate chips get blended well.

Top with your choice of decorations. I went with just whipped topping and Wilton Heart sprinkles this time, but both chocolate and raspberry (or strawberry) sauce would be good.
