Make Ahead & Storage
This Baileys frappuccino is best enjoyed right after blending for the creamiest frozen texture. If needed, you can brew the coffee ahead of time and keep it chilled in the refrigerator until ready to use. Leftovers can be frozen and blended again with a splash of milk to help smooth everything back out.

Here’s a tweet for more icy ones without diluting it, freeze some of the coffee into cubes and use, works like a charm!
Kristin says
Love that idea! Thanks! I will definitely need to try that soon!
Jess says
Not good ratio, came out super foamy after bending and no icy/fappachino consistency at all. Great base but will have to tweak to get it thicker.
Kristin says
Oh bummer to hear! Let me know if you end up tweaking things and how it adjusts!

Unlike you, I HATE Starbucks coffee-wouldn’t walk across the street for one if they were giving them away for free. That said, your recipe does sound good and I think I will have to give this a try. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, I was an AVID fan for the longest time, but boy their prices have sky rocketed. I find myself making coffee drinks at home or going to the local shops instead these days! Enjoy!!
