Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup strong brewed espresso or strong coffee, cooled
- 1 cup plant-based milk (almond, oat, or cashew milk)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (natural)
- 1–2 tablespoons natural sweetener (maple syrup, agave nectar, or coconut sugar)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- Plant-based whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Brew Your Coffee: Start by brewing a strong cup of espresso or robust coffee. Ensure it is hot enough to dissolve the cocoa and sweetener. Let it cool slightly before blending to avoid melting the ice too quickly.
- Combine Ingredients in Blender: Add the cooled coffee, plant-based milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, chosen natural sweetener, and natural vanilla extract into a blender. Place the ice cubes on top for a frosty texture.
- Blend Until Smooth: Pulse on high speed until the mixture is well combined and achieves a thick, creamy consistency that is frothy yet icy.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste your mocha frappe and add extra natural sweetener, cocoa powder, or plant-based milk if needed. Blend briefly again to customize the flavor and texture.
- Serve with a Delicious Garnish: Pour into a favorite glass and top with a swirl of plant-based whipped cream if desired. Add a dusting of unsweetened cocoa powder (natural) or plant-based chocolate shavings for an extra special touch.
Notes
- Use cold coffee brewed earlier and chilled for a refreshing frappe without dilution.
- Opt for high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder (natural) to enhance the mocha flavor.
- Add the ice last in the blender for smoother texture and better blending.
- Freeze leftover coffee into ice cubes to avoid watering down your frappe.
- Adjust sweetness gradually to achieve the perfect balance.
