Homemade Mocha Frappuccino – a copycat coffee drink perfect for the hot days of Summer! It takes only 2 minutes to whip it up!
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!
Two things make it absolutely irresistible:
1) it takes 2 minutes to whip it up in a blender (one step only)
2) there is my favorite 10-Minutes Fudge Sauce in it!
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 (stove-top —> 10 minutes, microwave—> 4 minutes!). So fill up the jar, pop the straw in, kick off the sandals and put your feet up!

July 19, 2018 at 4:57 pmI 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 🙂

February 20, 2018 at 8:29 amHi 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
February 23, 2018 at 3:52 pmHi! The unsweetened almond milk will definitely work just fine. The banana will probably change the texture but I would say go for it!

February 13, 2016 at 9:46 pmI 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.

June 9, 2015 at 10:07 pmI always make my coffee drinks at home and this one looks like a great summer afternoon treat! Great photos!
christine says
June 9, 2015 at 5:08 pmI too need to start the day w/ a hot cup, but come mid day I’m always looking for an iced/frozen treat in the form of caffeine. They have a Starbucks in my Target store and I am totally guilty of spending WAY too much on drinks there!
Barb |Creative Culinary says
June 9, 2015 at 4:59 pmThis looks fantastic but you are wrong in asserting that only two things make it irresistible Anna. For me NOT paying $4 for one is the most irresistible reason to make your own! 🙂

June 9, 2015 at 4:40 pmAn iced mocha frappuccino is my absolutely favorite for a hot afternoon! Even better when I can make it at home for so much less than buying it.
