Shark Frappuccino Shark Week Recipe

Cool off with this Shark Frappuccino, a layered blue-and-white ice cream drink that’s just the right mix of creamy, fruity, and fun. With a swirl of strawberry "shark bite" drizzle and shark gummies swimming on top, it's perfect for summer—and even better for Shark Week!

This recipe makes two medium frappes, and you can use homemade shark ice cream or take the shortcut with store-bought blue sherbet and vanilla ice cream. Either way, it’s a splash hit!

 

✨ Ingredients

Makes 2 Medium Frappuccino

For Shark Ice Cream (Optional – Freeze Time: 6 Hours):

• 4 cups heavy whipping cream

• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

• 1 small tub white icing (store-bought is fine)

• 2 drops light blue gel food coloring

• 10 shark gummy candies

• Optional: coconut extract for flavor

For the Frappuccino:

• 3–4 scoops of shark ice cream (or vanilla + blue sherbet combo)

• 1 cup ice

• 1 cup frozen strawberries

• 1/3 cup water

• Milk (splash, if needed to blend)

• Whipped topping

• 1 drop light blue food coloring + 4 tbsp sugar (for sparkle topping)

✨ Directions

To Make the Shark Ice Cream:

• In a stand mixer with whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form (start on low and increase to speed 6).
• Fold in the sweetened condensed milk and 1 drop of light blue food coloring.
• Pour half into a 9x9 pan. Drop spoonfuls of white icing randomly—don’t mix!
• Add more of the blue ice cream mixture and press in shark gummies.
• Freeze at least 6 hours or overnight for best results.

To Make the Frappuccino:

• Blend frozen strawberries with 1/3 cup of water to make puree. Set aside.
• Blend 3–4 scoops of the shark ice cream with 1 cup of ice. Add a splash of milk if needed for blending.
• Drizzle strawberry puree inside the cup (for a shark bite look), then layer in the frappe mixture.
• Top with whipped topping.
• Mix 1 drop of light blue food coloring into sugar and sprinkle on top. Add a gummy shark for fun!

✨ Tips/Shortcuts

• Use blue sherbet and vanilla ice cream instead of homemade.

• Skip the blue sugar and use edible glitter or blue sprinkles.

• Use store-bought strawberry syrup for the drizzle if you're short on time.

❓ FAQs

Q: Can I skip making the ice cream from scratch?
A: Yes! You can totally use a mix of store-bought blue sherbet and vanilla ice cream for a quicker version that still looks and tastes great.

Q: How long does the homemade ice cream take to freeze?
A: At least 6 hours, but overnight is ideal to get a firm scoopable texture.

Q: What if I don't have gel food coloring?
A: You can use regular food coloring, but the gel type gives a stronger, more vibrant color with less liquid.

Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
A: The frappe is best served fresh, but you can prep the strawberry drizzle and ice cream in advance.

Q: Do I need a stand mixer for the ice cream?
A: A hand mixer with a whisk attachment works too—just be patient as it may take a few extra minutes.
