So this frappuccino, I actually used to make on the regular.
Probably at least once every weekend for a "good job on making it through another week of my life, which I refer to as A Series of Unfortunate Events" kind of pick me up!
What? It's tough being me.
Today I tried it again and one of my roommates came in while I was making it, so I made another for her. (Keep in mind she is British and does not like coffee, except she really liked this MOCHA, aka coffee, frappuccino.)
I really like making this because
A. It's extremely easy.
B. Once you make the supplies for it you get a couple of drinks from it.
C. It's way cheaper than a fun little coffee shop or Starbucks (Although, I do enjoy spending money at both)
D. It's vegan.
E. It's delicious.
Look at that easy peasy lemon squeezy we have 5 reasons why to make it!
Original recipe from Minimalist Baker, found here: http://minimalistbaker.com/toasted-coconut-mocha-frappuccino/
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of strong brewed coffee (I made some into ice cubes, but if you do so you still need some in liquid form to make the blender blend everything.)
- 8 coconut ice cubes (I used about 5 lite coconut milk and then 3 almond milk to make it a little lighter) *Any kind of milk will work, just coconut milk will make it creamier
- 1/4 toasted coconut plus more for toppings
- 2 tablespoons of chocolate sauce plus more for topping
- 1 tablespoon of coco powder
Recipe for chocolate sauce found from allrecipes.com at http://allrecipes.com/recipe/chocolate-sauce/?scale=8&ismetric=0
I made mine for 2 servings, but can be adjusted to how many you like!
Toast coconut flakes either in oven or stove top. Keep an eye on it because once it starts it goes quickly! |
Make chocolate sauce also! |
