The Unicorn Frappuccino was a major Starbucks hit, selling out in less than two days when it was supposed to be out for a good week. Unfortunately, many of those having to stand in line to wait for the deliciously, cute drink were unable to get it.
I, witnessing this dilemma, decided to re-create the drink as closely as possible!
So keep scrolling to find out how you can make your own Unicorn Frappe!
1. Things you will need (it's not a lot, trust me)
-A blender of some sorts (I absolutely love the Nutri Ninja)
-Mango ice-cream
-Neon pink food coloring
-Blue icing
-Blue sour candy
-Milk
-Whipped cream
-Ice
2. Scoop Mango ice-cream into blender
I did everything by eye to make enough for one cup so I trust you can do the same :)
*I did about three scoops with the tablespoon*
3. Pour about 1/2 a cup of milk and add a cup of ice
Pretty self-explanatory
4. Add some pink food coloring to get the awesome Unicorn pinkness
My food coloring was powder so I added about 1/2 a teaspoon, but it will vary to how pink you want it.
5. Blend that all together and set aside!
Look how pretty!
6. Place drink in freezer to keep cold while you make the blue sauce
If you are using a blender, pour the drink into a cup and cover it before placing it in the freezer.
7. Take blue candy, chop it into bits, and place in your CLEAN blender
My cutting board is pink, I swear.
8. Squirt some blue frosting into the cup, and blend
I added a bit of milk to the mixture to make it a little more creamy. You want to consistency of a creamy paste.
9. Place mixture in zip-lock bag and freeze for about 10 minutes
*My Ninja blade wasn't sharp enough to cut all the pieces of candy, but I re-tried it with another blender and it worked perfectly!
10. Give a quick shout-out to the nice Starbucks girl who gave you a cup for this project
11. Cut a small hole in the corner of the zip-lock holding the blue sour paste and make squiggly lines in the cup
My squiggles died.
12. Pour pink drink into cup, top with whipped cream and you are done!
Conclusion: It tasted pretty much like the Unicorn Frappe, I just wish it was a little more sour. If anyone has any suggestions to perfecting this recipe, please let me know!
Enjoy:)
