Servings: 1
Ingredients
Frappe Ingredients
- 7/8 cup milk (or oat milk for dairy-free)
- 1 1/4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 tablespoons instant espresso powder
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup ice cubes
- Whipped cream optional, for topping
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Place a short tumbler or glass in the freezer to chill while you prepare the frappe — this keeps the drink colder longer and helps it stay frothy.
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the instant espresso powder, cocoa powder and sugar. Add about 2 tablespoons of the milk and whisk until the powders are fully dissolved into a smooth paste.
- Pour the remaining milk and the vanilla extract into a blender. Add the dissolved espresso-cocoa paste and blend on low for 5–10 seconds to incorporate everything evenly.
- Add the ice to the blender in two stages: start with half the ice and pulse 6–8 times, then add the rest and blend on medium-high until you reach a creamy, slushy consistency. Scrape down the sides if needed and pulse once more for uniform texture.
- Remove the chilled glass from the freezer and pour the frappe into it. Top with a dollop of whipped cream if using and a light dusting of cocoa powder or a few coffee sprinkles.
- Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy while icy and frothy.
Notes
For an extra-thick frappe, use slightly less milk and more ice, or add a small scoop of vanilla ice cream. Leftover frappe will separate if refrigerated; store in a sealed jar and re-blend briefly before serving.
