Shark Week Frappuccino Recipe

It’s Shark Week, and we’re diving into something totally jaw-some. If you love themed drinks, sweet treats, and anything over-the-top fun, then you have to try this Shark Week Frappuccino. It’s cool, creamy, ocean-blue, and layered with strawberry swirls and gummy sharks. Yes — there’s even homemade shark ice cream involved! 

For the Shark Ice Cream:

• 4 cups heavy whipping cream

• 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

• 1 small tub of white icing

• 2 drops light blue gel food coloring

• Optional: coconut extract for flavor

• Shark gummies (around 10)

For the Shark Frappuccino:

• 1 cup frozen strawberries

• 1/3 cup water

• 3–4 scoops shark ice cream

• 1 cup ice

• Milk (splash, if needed)

• Whipped topping

• 1 drop blue food coloring mixed with 1 tbsp sugar (for topping)

First, Make the Shark Ice Cream:

1. In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat heavy cream on low speed and gradually increase to medium-high until it thickens into whipped cream consistency.

2. Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk and a drop of blue food coloring.

3. Pour half of the mixture into a 9-inch square pan.

4. Add small dollops of white icing across the top, without mixing it in. Add a few shark gummies.

5. Pour the remaining mixture on top and gently press in more shark gummies.

6. Freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.

💡 Shortcut Tip: Want to skip the homemade ice cream? Use a combo of vanilla ice cream and blue sherbet instead!

Then, Blend the Frappuccino:

1. Blend strawberries and water together to create a simple puree.

2. In a blender, combine 3–4 scoops of shark ice cream with 1 cup of ice. Add a splash of milk if it’s too thick.

3. Swirl strawberry puree on the inside of your cup.

4. Pour in half the Frappuccino, add a bit more strawberry, then finish pouring the rest.

5. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of blue-colored sugar. Add one last gummy shark on top for drama! 🦈

Planning a Shark Week watch party? Set up a DIY drink station and let everyone build their own Shark Frappuccino. Serve with extra gummy sharks and paper umbrellas for a totally beachy vibe. Add iced coffees for the grown-ups (bonus points if you DoorDash them so no one has to leave the couch 🛋️☕️).
