02 -
- Over blending will make it melt too fast, so stop as soon as it looks smooth
- The pudding mix is not optional if you want that signature creamy texture
03 -
- Scrape your vanilla bean over the blender container so you do not lose any of those precious seeds
- If your frappuccino seems too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until it reaches the right consistency
