Ingredients
Scale
Mocha Frappuccino Ingredients
- ¾ cup strong brewed coffee (chilled)
- ½ cup milk, cream, or a combination
- 2 cups ice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or preferred sweetener
- 2–3 tablespoons chocolate sauce
- Pinch of sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the chilled strong brewed coffee, milk or cream, vanilla extract, maple syrup or your preferred sweetener, chocolate sauce, and a pinch of sea salt (if using) into a blender.
- Add Ice: Place 2 cups of ice on top of the liquid ingredients and secure the blender lid tightly.
- Blend: Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure even blending.
- Adjust Consistency: Check the thickness of your frappuccino and add more ice for a thicker texture or more milk/coffee for a thinner consistency, then blend again if needed.
- Serve: Pour the mocha frappuccino into a glass and serve immediately for the best chilled taste and texture.
Notes
- Use freshly brewed strong coffee and chill it in advance to avoid melting the ice quickly and diluting the drink.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey, agave, or any other liquid sweetener to suit your taste preferences.
- Adjust the amount of chocolate sauce depending on how rich and chocolaty you want your frappuccino.
- The pinch of sea salt is optional but helps to enhance the flavor by balancing the sweetness and chocolate notes.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk or cream with almond milk, coconut milk, or other plant-based milks.
