Ingredients
Coffee Base
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee, chilled (French press or cold brew is best)
Coconut Components
- 8 coconut milk ice cubes (about 3/4 cup full-fat or light coconut milk prior frozen into cubes)
- 1/4 cup toasted unsweetened coconut flakes, plus more for topping
Chocolate and Cocoa
- 2 tbsp light chocolate syrup, plus more for topping
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
Instructions
- Prepare Coconut Milk Ice Cubes: The night before making your frappuccino, shake a can of coconut milk well, then pour it into an ice cube tray. Freeze overnight. You will need about 8-10 cubes for one drink.
- Toast the Coconut Flakes: Spread 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes until golden and fragrant. Allow to cool.
- Blend the Ingredients: Combine the chilled brewed coffee, toasted coconut flakes, coconut milk ice cubes, light chocolate syrup, and cocoa powder in a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Adjust Consistency: To thicken your frappuccino, add more coconut milk ice cubes. To thin it out, add additional coffee or chocolate syrup as desired. Blend again to combine.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the blended frappuccino into a glass and serve immediately. Optionally, top with coconut whipped cream, extra toasted coconut flakes, and a drizzle of chocolate syrup for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Use French press or cold brew coffee for the best flavor and smoothness.
- Freezing coconut milk into ice cubes prevents dilution and keeps the frappuccino creamy.
- Toasted coconut adds a rich, nutty flavor—be careful not to burn.
- The drink can be adjusted to taste with more chocolate syrup or coffee for sweetness and strength.
- Leftover coconut milk ice cubes can be stored and used for future frappuccinos or smoothies.
- Nutrition does not include optional toppings like coconut whipped cream or additional chocolate drizzle.
