Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To achieve the perfect marbled effect, gently swirl the fudge layer into the vanilla frappuccino mixture before freezing. For a smoother pop, ensure the chocolate fudge cools slightly but remains pourable. Adjust the sweetness and coffee strength according to personal preference for a custom flavor balance.
