Method
- Prepare your coffee: Brew strong espresso or double-strength coffee and let it cool completely. You can make this ahead of time and refrigerate.
- Add ingredients to blender: Place ice cubes, cold espresso, milk, and sweetener into your blender in that order.
- Blend until smooth: Process on high speed for 30-60 seconds until you achieve a smooth, slushy consistency. The mixture should be well combined with no large ice chunks.
- Taste and adjust: Sample your frappuccino and add more sweetener or milk if needed. Blend briefly to incorporate any additions.
- Serve immediately: Pour into tall glasses and top with whipped cream and chocolate syrup if desired. Serve with a straw and enjoy right away.
Notes
Coffee Tips: Use quality espresso or strong coffee for the best flavor. Freeze leftover coffee in ice cube trays to prevent dilution.
Consistency: Add more ice for a thicker drink, more milk for a thinner consistency. The drink will separate over time, so serve immediately.
Flavor Variations: Try adding vanilla extract, caramel sauce, or chocolate syrup to the blend for different flavors.
Make-Ahead: Brew and cool coffee the night before for quick morning preparation.
