Homemade Frappuccinos
Let me show you how to easily make three delicious coffee shop quality homemade frappuccinos; Coffee, Mocha and Chocolate.
Equipment
- Blender with very sharp blades or ice crush funtion
- Measuring beaker or small jug
Ingredients
COFFEE FRAPPUCCINO
- 80 ml espresso (I use medium roast) or strong black coffee, cooled
- 1 ½ tablespoons cane sugar syrup OR granulated sugar to taste
- 60 ml whole milk
- 200 g ice
MOCHA FRAPPUCCINO
- 60 ml espresso
- 1 ½ tablespoons sugar syrup or OR granulated sugar to taste
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 115 ml whole milk
- 200 g ice
CHOCOLATE FRAPPUCCINO
- 2 tablespoons chocolate Nesquik
- 180 ml whole milk
- 200 g cups ice
TO FINISH (optional)
- Light spray cream optional
- Chocolate sauce for drizzling over the cream
Instructions
COFFEE FRAPPUCCINO
- If you are able to, make the coffee in advance so it has time to cool off. If you want to make it taste as close to a Starbucks frappuccino as possible, use Starbucks capsules/pods (I use the Blonde roast capsules). If you have a coffee machine that makes espresso, it will probably take 2 presses on the espresso button to make 80ml / ⅓ cup. For a strong coffee frappe, add a new pod for the second press. Alternatively, make up 80ml of any coffee to the strength of your liking (remember you are adding milk and lots of ice which will dilute it). If you are adding sugar instead of syrup, add it in when hot and stir well.
- Add your ice to the blender pot followed by the milk, coffee and syrup (if using). Blend on the highest setting (or the ice crush setting) for about 1 minute or until smooth.
MOCHA FRAPPUCCINO
- Follow the above instructions for Coffee Frappuccino, but mix the cocoa powder with a little of the coffee to make a paste. Then you can mix in the rest of the coffee. If using granulated sugar, dissolve that in the hot coffee first.
CHOCOLATE FRAPPUCCINO
- Add just a little of the milk to the Nesquik and stir into a smooth paste. Then stir it into the rest of the milk. Add the ice to your blender pot and pour in the chocolate milk. Blend on the highest setting (or the ice crush setting) for about 1 minute or until smooth. This recipe makes one large frappuccino, which can by split into two smaller ones for younger kids to share.
TO FINISH
- Pour or spoon out the frappuccino carefully into your glass or reusable cold cup. Serve immediately, as is or topped with spray cream. For Mocha and Chocolate Frappuccino’s, drizzle over chocolate sauce if you like.
