Healthy Homemade Mocha Frappuccino

The chocolate version of my healthy homemade frappuccino. Tastes like ice cold chocolate pudding! Extra delicious combined with whipped cream!

Frappuccino is a blended frozen coffee drink.

In its original version, Frappuccino is made using ice cubes. This recipe does not use ice cubes, as they would water down the flavor.

If you want to make a twist on your frappuccino, turning the frozen coffee drink chocolatey is a great choice.

Simply add some unsweetened cocoa powder to my basic recipe for Healthy Homemade Frappuccino. You may need to add a little more sweetener to balance out the bitter taste of the cocoa powder, which I’ve taken into account in the recipe. Below you will find the recipe for the chocolate version.

The homemade mocha frappuccino delivers the same benefits as my homemade frappuccino. It’s much cheaper than store-bought. Depending on the type of milk used, it can be vegan. You can choose whether to use caffeine or not. You can decide on the type and amount of sweetener. You can add toppings or skip them, and they can be vegan, too. Preparing is just as much fun and the result tastes just as delicious.

The homemade mocha frappuccino is made with just 6 ingredients: milk of choice, unsweetened cocoa powder, pure vanilla extract, instant coffee, sweetener of choice, and a pinch of salt. It’s just as easy and quick to make as my basic Healthy Homemade Frappuccino.

To make this recipe, you’ll need a hand blender or blender. I recommend a hand blender for the amount given in the recipe, as it is easier to clean. From double the amount, a blender will work better.

Healthy Homemade Mocha Frappuccino

By Christina

Yields: 1 – 2 servings

Prep Time: 5 minutes minutes

Total Time: 5 minutes minutes

The chocolate version of my healthy homemade frappuccino. Tastes like ice cold chocolate pudding! Extra delicious combined with whipped cream!

Ingredients

• 1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice
• 1 1/2 tablespoons (7.5 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon (1 g) pure vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon (1 g) instant coffee, regular or decaf
• Sweetener of choice, such as 1 1/2 tablespoons (32 g) agave or 2 tablespoons (25 g) raw cane sugar (see notes below!)
• Pinch of salt

For Topping (Optional)

• Whipped cream or coconut whipped cream
• Chocolate syrup

Instructions

• Whisk all ingredients together.
• Freeze in one or a few shallow containers or in ice cube trays.
• Once frozen, pop out (you may need to let thaw a bit first, and if using shallow containers, break up into blocks) and place into a beaker or blender. Let thaw a bit to ensure that the hand blender or blender is able to handle it.
• Blend until a slushy consistency is reached.
• Pour into a glas or two and top with whipped cream and chocolate syrup, or other toppings, if desired.

Notes

Sweetener: You can also use maple syrup or honey to sweeten your frappuccino. The amount of sweetener will depend on the type of milk used, your taste preference, and the type of sweetener used.

This recipe is easily doubled, or even tripled or quadrupled.
