Once the ingredients are in the cup, the barista will blend the contents until it is smooth. The drink is topped with whipped cream, and chocolate cookie crumble toppings.

Notes
To top your Frappuccino with fresh, homemade whipped cream, you only need two ingredients: heavy cream and powdered sugar. Put a metal mixing bowl in the freezer for a few minutes to chill it. Then pour 1/2 cup of heavy cream into the bowl with a tablespoon of powdered sugar. Using a hand mixer, mix the cream on high until the cream thickens to the desired consistency. If you don’t want to make it from scratch, buy the whipped cream topping cans instead.
