Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 shot espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 2 tablespoons natural cocoa powder
- 1 to 2 tablespoons natural sweetener (maple syrup or agave nectar)
- 1/2 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 1 cup ice cubes
Optional Toppings
- Plant-based whipped cream
- Natural cocoa powder or cinnamon for dusting
- Finely chopped dark chocolate
Instructions
- Prepare Your Coffee: Brew a strong espresso or coffee, then let it cool slightly to avoid melting the ice too quickly and to maintain the perfect texture.
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the cooled coffee, plant-based milk, natural cocoa powder, natural sweetener, natural vanilla extract, and the natural gelling agent. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Ice and Blend Again: Add the ice cubes, then blend on high speed until the frappe reaches a thick, frothy consistency you enjoy.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the frappe into a tall glass. If desired, top with plant-based whipped cream and sprinkle with natural cocoa powder or cinnamon. Optionally, add finely chopped dark chocolate on top for extra texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use strong coffee for the best mocha flavor.
- Chill plant-based milk and coffee beforehand for a colder, more refreshing drink.
- Adjust sweetness after tasting before blending all ingredients.
- Blend ice just enough to crush it to retain flavor and texture.
- Experiment with various plant-based milks like oat, almond, or cashew for preferred creaminess.
