  • 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup (or caramel syrup)
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)

Toppings

Instructions

  1. Brew the Coffee: Prepare 2 shots of espresso or brew ½ cup of strong coffee to provide a robust coffee flavor that serves as the base of your frappuccino.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Add the brewed espresso or coffee, 2 cups of ice, 1 cup of whole milk, and 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup (or caramel) into a blender. Add chocolate chips if desired for extra chocolate flavor and texture.
  3. Blend: Blend all the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is nearly foamy and smooth, indicating the ice is well crushed and the beverage is chilled.

Notes

  • You can substitute milk with any dairy-free alternative like almond or oat milk for a vegan-friendly version.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less chocolate or caramel syrup according to your preference.
  • For an extra caffeine kick, add an additional shot of espresso or a splash of coffee concentrate.
  • Chocolate chips are optional but add a delightful texture; feel free to omit or replace with a flavored syrup.
  • Use chilled coffee to prevent the ice from melting too quickly during blending.
