Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1 cup plant-based milk (such as almond or oat)
  • 2 tbsp natural cocoa powder
  • 1–2 tbsp sweetener of choice (maple syrup, agave nectar, or sugar)
  • 1 tsp natural vanilla extract
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • Optional: 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent

Variations (Optional)

  • Few drops natural peppermint extract (for Mocha Mint)
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon or nutmeg (for Spiced Mocha)
  • 1/4 cup coconut cream (plant-based) added with plant-based milk (for Extra Creamy)
  • Stevia or monk fruit sweetener instead of sugar (for Low Sugar)
  • 1 scoop plant-based protein powder (for Protein Boost)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Brew and Cool Your Coffee
    Start by making a strong cup of coffee using your preferred brewing method. Allow it to cool completely to avoid melting the ice too quickly and diluting the flavor.
  2. Step 2: Gather and Measure Ingredients
    Measure out your plant-based milk, cocoa powder, sweetener, and natural vanilla extract. Having everything ready ensures a smooth blending process.
  3. Step 3: Combine Ingredients in a Blender
    Place the cooled coffee, plant-based milk, cocoa powder, your chosen sweetener, natural vanilla extract, and ice cubes into the blender. For extra texture, add a small amount of natural gelling agent.
  4. Step 4: Blend Until Smooth and Frothy
    Blend on high speed until the mixture is creamy, smooth, and lightly frothy, with no clumps of ice or powder. This usually takes about 30 to 60 seconds.
  5. Step 5: Taste and Adjust
    Give your frappe a quick taste and adjust sweetness or chocolate intensity as needed. Blend again briefly if you add anything.
  6. Step 6: Serve Immediately
    Pour your Copycat Mocha Frappe into your favorite glass and get ready to enjoy a refreshing coffee treat in the comfort of your home.

Notes

  • Use quality coffee: The flavor of your coffee affects the entire frappe, so use fresh, bold coffee for best results.
  • Chill your glass: Serving in a cold glass keeps your frappe colder longer and enhances enjoyment.
  • Balance ice amount: Use enough ice to chill but not so much that it waters down the mocha flavor.
  • Blend in bursts: If your blender struggles with ice, pulse in short bursts to achieve a smooth texture.
  • Experiment with milks: Try different plant-based milks like cashew or hemp to discover your favorite texture and flavor combo.
