How to Make Our Grandma’s Frappe Recipe
- Start by getting out your large punch bowl, and then scoop the slightly softened vanilla ice cream and raspberry sherbet into it.
- Once all of the ice cream is in the punch bowl, slowly pour the lemon lime soda over top and gently stir the two together.
- Allow it to sit for 5 minutes to let it melt just a bit.
- After about 5-7 minutes, stir everything together again to create the delicious frappe.
Recipe Notes
- Please note that there WILL be chunks of ice cream left in the frappe, and that is okay! Actually we encourage it, because it tastes delicious that way!
- What determines what a milkshake is and what a frappe is? If you ask me, it gets kind of confusing. Generally most people associate a milkshake as a thick and creamy drink, but it is not the same in New England. In New England, that would be considered a frappe. Are you confused yet? Well, if you want to learn more about it, New Enland Today does a great job of explaining the difference between a milkshake and a frappe. Take a look, you might find it interesting.

Can you be more specific on what size cartons ?
We used the 48 ounce containers (1.5 quarts).
We do something similar, but use ginger ale and pineapple juice! I’ve never heard of anyone else calling it frappe, tho! Lol
