📋 What You’ll Need
Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed coffee, chilled
- ½ cup coconut milk (canned or carton)
- 2 tbsp chocolate syrup + extra for drizzle
- 1 tbsp sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 tbsp sugar (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- Whipped cream (for topping)

Tools
- Blender

⭐ Pro Tips
- Use strong coffee – Brew it a little stronger than usual for the best coffee flavor.
- Chill the coffee first – This keeps your frappuccino thick and icy instead of watered down.
- Want it extra thick? Add a bit more ice or use frozen coffee cubes instead.
- Blend longer – The longer you blend, the smoother and creamier it will be.
- Dairy-free? Use whipped coconut cream instead of regular whipped cream!
🔄 Substitutions & Variations
- No coconut milk? Use almond or oat milk with a few drops of coconut extract.
- Want a protein boost? Add a scoop of chocolate or vanilla protein powder.
- Less sugar? Swap sugar for honey, maple syrup, or a sugar-free sweetener.
- Make it mocha madness! Add an extra tablespoon of chocolate syrup or a few chocolate chips before blending.
⏳ Make-Ahead Tips
- Freeze coffee into cubes – Brew coffee ahead of time and freeze it in an ice cube tray for an even bolder frappuccino.
- Prep ingredients the night before – Store everything in the fridge, so it’s ready to blend in the morning!
