Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 2 shots espresso (or ½ cup strong coffee)
- 2 cups ice
- 1 cup whole milk
Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup (or caramel)
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
Topping:
- ½ cup whipped cream
Instructions
- Brew a robust shot of espresso or strong coffee, ensuring a rich and intense flavor base for the frappuccino.
- Gather all ingredients: coffee, ice cubes, milk, and preferred sweeteners in preparation for blending.
- Transfer the freshly brewed coffee into a high-powered blender, creating the foundation for a creamy frozen beverage.
- Add ice cubes to the blender, which will provide the signature frosty texture and help chill the drink instantly.
- Pour in milk and your chosen sweeteners, balancing the coffee’s boldness with smooth, sugary notes.
- Activate the blender and pulse the mixture until it transforms into a silky, frothy consistency with fine ice crystals.
- Select a tall glass and carefully pour the blended frappuccino, allowing the drink to settle slightly.
- Crown the beverage with a generous dollop of whipped cream, creating an indulgent finishing touch that adds luxurious richness.
- Optional: Sprinkle chocolate shavings, caramel drizzle, or cinnamon on top for an extra layer of decadence and visual appeal.
Notes
- Chill your coffee beforehand for a smoother, more refreshing drink that won’t water down when blended with ice.
- Customize sweetness levels by adjusting sugar, simple syrup, or flavored syrups to match your taste preferences.
- Use instant espresso powder or strong brewed coffee for deeper, richer flavor intensity.
- Experiment with milk alternatives like almond, oat, or coconut milk for unique taste variations.
- Pro tip: Freeze coffee in ice cube trays to prevent dilution and maintain robust coffee flavor when blending.
