Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee (cold or room temperature)
- 1 cup milk (whole, almond, or oat)
- 1.5 cups ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- as desired whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- as desired chocolate syrup (optional, for garnish)
- as desired ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Start by brewing a cup of strong coffee and let it cool to room temperature, or use cold brewed coffee directly.
In a blender, combine the brewed coffee, milk, ice cubes, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and frothy. If the consistency is too thick, add more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is achieved.
Taste the frappaccini and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if needed. Blend briefly to incorporate any adjustments.
Pour the frappaccini into glasses and top with whipped cream, if desired.
Drizzle chocolate syrup over the whipped cream and sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon for garnish.
Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your Mexican Frappaccini!
