How to Make Crystal Sugar Shards
In a saucepan, heat 1 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of water over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and turns clear.
Pour the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Let it cool and harden completely, then break it into jagged shards.
Optionally, dust the shards with edible glitter or purple food coloring for a frosty, amethyst-like effect.
Optional: Frosted Sugar Rim
Dip the rim of your Starbucks cup in honey or simple syrup.
Roll the rim in granulated sugar mixed with edible purple glitter for a frosty, magical effect.
Instructions
1. Blend the Base:
In a blender, combine:
1 cup ice
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup coconut cream
1/4 cup blackberries
1/4 teaspoon butterfly pea flower powder (optional)
2 tablespoons melted white chocolate
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons simple syrup or honey
1/4 cup whipped cream
Blend until smooth and creamy. The blackberries provide a sweet, tangy flavor and a natural purple hue, while the white chocolate and vanilla add richness and balance. The butterfly pea flower powder enhances the purple tone without altering the flavor.
2. Prepare the Cup:
Frost the rim of your Starbucks cup with the frosted sugar rim (optional).
3. Pour and Top:
Pour the blended frappe into the prepared cup.
Add a generous swirl of whipped cream on top.
Sprinkle with edible glitter or purple sprinkles.
Garnish with crystal sugar shards for a dazzling, frosty crown.
