Why You'll Love This Recipe
Our Monday just got better.
Because in my book, a chocolate and coffee blended with ice into a perfect chilled drink can make any day better. Plus, a homemade copycat that tastes way better then the store-bought is always a winner.
It's this time of year! Iced coffee is my everyday companion. I made a run to my local grocery store the other day. It was hot and humid. Our store has Starbucks inside and it is very convenient for the shoppers to grab a frappe and shop. I must have passed at least a dozen of people with a shopping basket in one hand and Starbucks cup in the other. That left me craving a chilled coffee drink. As soon as I got home, I pulled out my Blendtec and made this beauty. I still love to start the day with a hot cup of joe but this chilled frappuccino is like a treat and recently, it even replaced my afternoon dessert. Because it is like a dessert in a mug! Fudge sauce, whipped cream and all!
Ingredients:
- coffee
- half and half or milk
- ice
- sugar
- fudge sauce

Two things make it absolutely irresistible:

Don't you just want to slurp it down?
Crazy good! Especially with the addition of whipped cream and a drizzle of the glorious fudge sauce. By the way, you NEED to try my fudge sauce recipe. It's so fast and easy to make. So fill up the jar, pop the straw in, kick off the sandals and put your feet up!

I omitted the sugar and replaced the half and half with Califia cold brew almond milk mocha. It was yummy.
Rachel says
At first I made it with skim milk and chocolate syrup, which was okay, but not great. But then I made it with half-and-half and fudge sauce, and HOLY MOLY IT'S TASTY. (I used regular coffee both times, but I think I might try espresso next time...)
Gianna says
I used Hershey’s syrup and it was AMAZING!!! Better than Starbucks!
Sophie says
Hi!
Can I use lactose free milk? And can I substitute the fudge with something?
Bee says
In the ingredients it doesn’t say what type of coffee to use, what do you recommend to use in this recipe?
Fionna says
I use espresso which I find is the best but you can really use anything/.
Fionna says
LOVE THIS SO MUCH
Anna says
Thank you, Fionna!
Lexi says
Hi Anna I want to make this today from what the comments are saying but I don’t like coffee... can I do no coffe and it still be good?! At Starbucks I get this drink with no coffee and it’s just a treat a quick reply would be amazing!!!! I soooo want to try it😂
Anna says
Hi Lexi! Hmm, I am not sure what you could substitute here. I never made it without coffee. Without it, it will be like chocolate milk, frappuccino style.
Lexi says
Ok thank you I’m just gonna try it I don’t think it will taste bad either way I love chocolate😂 I will let you know how it turns out!
Anna says
Perfect! I hope you love it!
Lexi says
You were correct it basically was a chocolate milk slush if anyone wants to know I added a bit more ice and milk but yea honestly I have tried a lot of these receptors and this is the best one even though it is so simple!
ELISABETH says

Misty says
Made this during the storm, definitely a hit with the hubby! (I added a little extra sugar because we're sugar fiends lol) Will probably be making these daily from now on!
Lily says

Rosie says
Love this! It tastes just like the real drink! I might even like this version better! (Sometimes the baristas at Starbucks add too much syrup) Thank you for this awesome recipe! 😃
Anna says
Thank you so much, Rosie!
Julie says
I love this recipe!! I usually add some peanut butter, which isn’t in the original Starbucks frappe but gives it a sort of milkshake texture 🙂
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Julie! That's awesome! Thank you so much! I totally love the peanut butter addition. Can't wait to try it. 😀
momof1teen says
Hi Anna,I was wondering if I could use unsweetened almond milk for the milk and a banana in place of the sugar? Thanks in advance for a reply
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi! The unsweetened almond milk will definitely work just fine. The banana will probably change the texture but I would say go for it!
Erin says
I tried this tonight. Unfortunately I didn't look at the recipe before shopping today lol, so I used Truvia sugar instead and didn't have the hot fudge. It still was good. I want to make it the right way next time.

That looks incredible. I love making coffee drinks at home -- and the sauce you use -- YUM!
