Cotton Candy Frappe
A whimsical blend of cotton candy sweetness and creamy coffee indulgence
Step into a world of whimsy with our Cotton Candy Frappe, a delightful fusion of childhood nostalgia and grown-up coffee cravings. This enchanting beverage draws inspiration from the colorful swirls of cotton candy at carnivals, perfectly balanced with the rich, bold flavors of premium coffee.
Our recipe features a carefully crafted blend of smooth cold brew coffee, velvety vanilla ice cream, and a homemade cotton candy syrup that captures the essence of the fairground favorite. The use of cold brew ensures a less acidic base, allowing the delicate cotton candy flavors to shine through. We recommend using a medium roast coffee with notes of caramel and chocolate to complement the sweet cotton candy profile. For an extra touch of magic, we top the frappe with a cloud of freshly spun cotton candy, creating a visually stunning and irresistibly fun treat.
