Directions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and blue food coloring gel, whisking until the sugar is fully dissolved and the color is evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Pour the blue milk mixture into an ice cube tray and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid.

  3. 3

    Once the blue ice cubes are thoroughly frozen, gather your chilled espresso, the blue ice cubes, and an additional 1/2 cup of ice.

  4. 4

    In a high-speed blender, combine the chilled espresso, blue ice cubes, and remaining 1/2 cup of ice.

  5. 5

    Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and reaches a thick, slushy consistency, similar to a classic frappe, about 2-3 minutes.

  6. 6

    Carefully pour the vibrant blue frappe into two tall serving glasses.

  7. 7

    Top each frappe generously with a dollop or swirl of whipped topping or freshly made whipped cream.

  8. 8

    To create the 'lightning bolt' effect, gently sprinkle the gold sanding sugar over the whipped cream, concentrating it in a zig-zag pattern.

  9. 9

    Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy this electrifying beverage before time runs out.
