Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the chilled brewed coffee, milk or cream, vanilla extract, maple syrup, chocolate sauce, sea salt (if using), and ice into a high powered blender. This ensures all components are incorporated and ready to blend into a smooth beverage.
- Blend Smooth: Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Check the thickness and add more ice if you prefer a thicker frappuccino or adjust the sweetness by adding more maple syrup to suit your taste.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the blended mocha frappuccino into a glass, optionally top with whipped cream and drizzle extra chocolate sauce over the top for an indulgent finish. Enjoy your refreshing homemade coffee treat right away for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use freshly brewed strong coffee to maximize flavor intensity.
- Adjust sweetness and richness by varying the amount of maple syrup and milk/cream.
- The sea salt is optional but adds a wonderful contrast that enhances the chocolate and coffee notes.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and a vegan chocolate sauce.
- This recipe serves one but can easily be doubled or tripled for multiple servings.
