About Our Peppermint Mocha Frappe Recipe

There are many different ways to make a homemade mocha frappe.

We love a healthy coffee drink as much as the next person, but this time we decided to throw a few extra ingredients in to make our coffee frappe recipe extra tasty.

Homemade Mocha Frappe Ingredients

The core frappe ingredients are ice, milk, coffee, chocolate and mint.

What type of coffee for a Mocha coffee smoothie

We have used cold brew coffee in our chocolate mocha frappe, but you could just as easily use the same amount of brewed coffee, espresso lengthened with water or make an instant coffee frappe.

All our favorite cold brew coffee beans are reviewed in this article, but these coffee beans by Bizzy are great for coffee smoothies and frappes and you can even by it pre-made as a concentrate. See it here.

Chocolate

Many chocolate mocha frappe and chocolate smoothie recipes use chocolate syrup.

For something a little different (and for a richer taste) we have used chocolate pudding in our DIY mocha frappuccino.

Buy it pre-made from the supermarket, or make from pudding crystals from the pantry.

Peppermint

We have included mint extract, simply because it is more common than peppermint coffee syrup. But if you have coffee syrup on hand, that works well too!

We love Torani Peppermint Syrup. You can see it here.

Add as little or as much as you want for a fresh minty flavor.

How To Make A Mocha Frappe At Home

If you are wondering how to make a homemade mocha frappe at home, it really couldn’t be easier! The only mocha frappe machine you need is a blender.

Step 1 – Blend your ingredients

Simply add all your ingredients to a blender and mix until smooth.

I like to taste after a quick blend to check the balance of flavors and adjust as necessary before giving it a final blend to make it extra smooth.

Step 2 – Choose your garnish

Once blended, pour into two tall glasses and garnish with whipping cream and extra crushed candies.

By the way, the cream and candies are both optional and if you prefer a mocha smoothie can be omitted altogether.

Extra Tips To Make Mocha Frappuccino At Home

If you find the recipe a little too sweet, drop the sweetened condensed milk from the mix.

Try coffee ice cubes instead of regular ice for an extra strong coffee kick.

So now you know how to make your own frappe at home. So simple to blend and much cheaper than the mocha frappe McDonald’s and Starbucks sell.
