Ingredients
Beverage Ingredients
- ¾ cup strong brewed coffee, chilled or room temperature
- ½ cup milk or cream (or a combo of the two)
- 2 cups ice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 - 2 tbsp maple syrup or favorite sweetener (adjust based on desired sweetness)
- 2 - 3 tbsp chocolate sauce (plus extra for drizzle)
- 2 cranks sea salt (optional)
Optional Garnish
- Whipped cream
- Extra chocolate sauce for drizzle
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Brew strong coffee and allow it to chill to room temperature or cold. Gather milk or cream, ice, vanilla extract, sweetener, chocolate sauce, and optional sea salt.
- Combine Ingredients: Place the chilled coffee, milk or cream, ice, vanilla extract, maple syrup (or sweetener), chocolate sauce, and sea salt into a high-powered blender.
- Blend Smooth: Blend all ingredients together until smooth and frothy. If the mixture is too thin, add more ice to reach your preferred consistency.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the frappuccino and add more sweetener if needed, then blend briefly again to combine.
- Serve: Pour the mocha frappuccino into a tall glass immediately. Top with whipped cream and an extra drizzle of chocolate sauce for an indulgent finish.
Notes
- Use strong brewed coffee for the best mocha flavor; espresso or concentrated coffee works well.
- Adjust the amount of ice to make the frappuccino thicker or lighter according to your preference.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey, agave nectar, or any sweetener of choice.
- Add sea salt sparingly; it enhances the chocolate flavor but is optional.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and a dairy-free cream alternative.
- This recipe serves 1 but can easily be multiplied for more servings.
