In honor of the one year anniversary of Wayward Son I attempted to recreate the Starbucks Unicorn Frappuccino today. I found a few versions online and basically combined them, tweaked them in real time as I was making it and it ended up being pretty good.
"Baz has stopped glaring at Penelope and started glaring at me. “What on earth are you drinking, Snow?”
He frowns. “Why’s it called that—does it taste like lavender?”
“It tastes like strawberry Dip Dab,” I say.
Penny’s grimacing at Baz. “For heaven’s snakes, Basil, I can’t believe you know what unicorns taste like.”
“Shut up, Bunce, it was sustainably farmed.” Wayward Son, Chapter 13.
For the blue syrup:
4 oz white chocolate, melted
For the Frappuccino:
1/2 cup ice
3/4 cup milk
2 scoops vanilla ice cream
1/2 tablespoon mango syrup
1 tablespoon pink lemonade Kool-Aid powder
3 tablespoons raspberry syrup
For the topping:
Whipped cream
Wilton purple pearl dust
Wilton blue pearl dust
In a bowl, whisk 2-3 drops of food coloring in the melted white chocolate until completely incorporated.
Into a blender, add your ice, milk, vanilla ice cream, mango syrup, pink lemonade Kool-Aid powder, and raspberry syrup. Blend until smooth. If the color isn't vibrant enough, add a few drops neon pink food coloring.
Pour the pink mango Frappuccino into the cup, filling it a third of the way full. Then drizzle the blue syrup around the inside of the cup, letting it drip down slightly.
Top with remaining Frappuccino and whipped cream, and then sprinkle with the blue and purple pearl dust. Serve immediately.
It's got a sour/sweet taste, kind of like fun dip or sweet tarts. My kids loved it. I got about two sips.
Next attempt will be a Baz version of a Unicorn Frappuccino, with the appropriate lavender flavor.
apologies for the lateness of this post and the unusual format. My desktop has been crashed all day and no end in sight so I am doing this on my mobile 😩
yes, I an extra enough that I saved and washed my Starbucks cup and lid from my pumpkin mocha Frappuccino yesterday (and requested an extra straw) so I could have this look authentic. I'm disturbed, ask anyone.
