Texture is everything.
For a really snowy frappé, go for plenty of ice cubes and little milk. Blend in short bursts so it doesn't liquefy. Starting with very cold milk helps too.
Milk ice cubes (milk frozen in a tray) replace some of the water ice cubes: the frappé keeps all its flavour as it melts.
