Mocha Frappe Ingredients

First, let’s chat ingredients. To make this copycat recipe, follow the steps carefully. For this mocha frappe recipe, you will need:

Cold Brew Coffee: Use your favorite cold brew coffee or brew a strong batch of iced coffee ahead of time. You’ll need about 1 cup for this frozen coffee recipe.
Coffee Ice Cubes: If you want an extra-strong coffee flavor, freeze some of your brewed coffee in an ice cube tray for strong coffee cubes. Otherwise, regular ice cubes work just fine!
Whole Milk or Heavy Cream: You will need 1/4-1/2 cups depending on how creamy you want your frappe.
Chocolate Syrup: The key to the mocha flavor! Use 1-2 tablespoons, depending on how chocolatey you like it.
Sweetener: If you like your frappe a little sweeter, add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar, honey, or a sugar substitute.
Whipped Cream (Optional): Highly recommended for sweet topping!
Chocolate Sauce (Optional): For drizzling over the whipped cream, because why not?

How to Make a Mocha Frappe

Follow these simple steps to make your own mocha frappuccino:

Brew and freeze the coffee: If you want an extra-strong frappe, freeze your cold brew into ice cubes using an ice cube tray. You can skip this step and use regular ice if you prefer.
Blend the ingredients: In a high powered blender, add the cold brew, coffee ice cubes (or regular ice), whole milk, chocolate syrup, and your preferred sweetener. Blending until smooth, similar to a milkshake consistency.
Serve: Pour your frappe into a glass, top with whipped cream, and drizzle with chocolate sauce for that café-worthy finish.
Enjoy: Savor your homemade iced mocha frappe, sipping slowly or with a straw, and enjoy that smooth, chocolatey coffee goodness!

Notes, Tips, and Possible Substitutions

Make it Dairy-Free: Substitute almond milk, soy milk, coconut milk for a dairy-free version. The flavor will be slightly different, but still delicious!
Decaf Option: If you want to enjoy this treat without the caffeine kick, use decaf cold brew or brewed decaf coffee.
Chocolate Lovers: Add an extra tablespoon of chocolate syrup for a more intense mocha flavor, or even a spoonful of cocoa powder for a richer taste.
Thicker Frappe: For a thicker consistency, add more ice cubes. You can also experiment with the amount of whole milk and heavy cream.
Coffee Shop Vibes: For an authentic café experience, try using flavored coffee syrups like vanilla or caramel, and top with whipped cream.
