Description
A thick, creamy, and rich homemade mocha frappe that tastes better than coffee shop versions and costs a fraction of the price. This simple blended drink requires just a few ingredients and a blender.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 shot espresso (30ml) or ½ cup cold brew concentrate
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 cup ice cubes (packed)
- 3 tablespoons chocolate sauce or syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Chocolate shavings (for garnish)
- Sugar or sweetener (optional, to taste)
Instructions
- Brew espresso or cold brew coffee and allow it to cool completely to room temperature or chill in the refrigerator. Do not use hot coffee.
- If the chocolate sauce is cold and thick, stir it or microwave briefly to loosen it for easier measuring.
- Add the milk, chocolate sauce, vanilla extract, and cooled coffee to the blender.
- Add the ice cubes on top of the liquid ingredients.
- Secure the blender lid and start on low speed, gradually increasing to high. Blend for 30-60 seconds until the mixture is smooth and slushy.
- Pour the frappe into a tall glass.
- Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
- Serve immediately with a wide straw.
Notes
Use cold coffee to prevent the ice from melting too quickly. If the drink is too thick, add a splash of milk; if too thin, add more ice. For a richer texture, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This drink is best consumed immediately as it does not hold its texture well if stored.
