This homemade Starbucks Strawberry Shortcake Frappuccino has become my favorite summer indulgence without the coffee shop price tag. The creamy blend of fresh strawberries and vanilla ice cream creates that nostalgic strawberry shortcake flavor in a refreshing frozen drink that rivals the original.
I first created this recipe during a particularly hot summer when my daily Starbucks habit was becoming too expensive. My daughter now requests this as her special weekend treat, and honestly, she says it tastes even better than the original!
