Who would have thought of putting strawberry Frappuccino, graham cracker crust, and rich, creamy whipped topping into a Starbucks cup?! Well, Totally the Bomb certainly did, and we think it’s totally genius.

This strawberry cheesecake frap is changing the Starbucks drink hack game and it gives us a whole new reason to enjoy some sweet, summer strawberries. 😋

Stetson was so excited about this yummy Starbucks drink hack that he created a video for ya:

So what’s in this Starbucks secret menu strawberry drink? 😍🍓

Thanks to our source, we knew just what to order. So, of course, we sent Stetson to be our exclusive taste tester.

Here’s what’s in the frappucino:

  • Strawberries & Cream frappuccino
  • Strawberry inclusions
  • Hazelnut
  • Graham cracker topping
  • Whipped cream

Ready to order? Here’s what you need to say to your Starbucks barista when you get to Starbucks:

“I’d like a grande Strawberries and Cream Frappuccino with 1 pump of hazelnut strawberry inclusions blended. Add graham cracker topping to the bottom of the cup, and whipped cream and strawberry inclusions on top, too. Thanks!”

When ordering different sizes for this drink, make sure to adjust the number of hazelnut pumps. For a tall, order 1/2 pump, for grande order 1 pump, and for venti 2 pumps.

*Keep in mind that this recipe is not going to be a mobile-friendly order since graham cracker topping is not an add-on option for a strawberry frappuccino. 


On a side note, did you know that you can score this Starbucks drink for free if you’re new to the Starbucks rewards program?! Here’s all the info!

Here’s what Stetson had to say about this new concoction:

“This is a really sweet strawberry drink that makes you feel like you’re at The Cheesecake Factory. If you have a sweet tooth, I highly recommend this drink. It’s nice and creamy with the whipped topping, and the crushed graham crackers take it to the next level of YUM! Next time, I’ll be asking for extra graham cracker topping though so I can have a few extra bites mixed in with my cheesecake tasting drink.

From the taste, it actually reminded me a bit of the whipped strawberry milk I recently made. So GOOD.”

Yum! That’s a great idea, Stetson. Now off to Starbucks I go! 💃


This Starbuck’s drink hack taste like a Wendy’s Frosty.

      You’re so welcome! Enjoy!

    Does the strawberries and cream Frappuccino have coffee in it? I have to avoid caffeine for medical reasons. But this looks delicious, wonder if I can have it!

    • Mei

      No, no caffeine! 🙂

    • Amber

      It’s literally just ice milk and strawberry purée along with the added items as above.

      • Jennifer Lisa

        Amber, that’s actually not accurate. There is a cream base syrup that is added as well.

      I’m so happy to hear this brightened your day! These comments really help a lot!

  4. Mary

    Sorry, but where’s the cheesecake? Adding Graham crackers and hazelnut? syrup doesn’t make it cheesecake. Isn’t this just a strawberry and cream frappe?

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Aww, Thanks so much for the sweet comment and for being a longtime follower! 🥰 I’ll be sure to pass this along to Stetson!
