Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 cup plant-based milk (almond, oat, or cashew recommended)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (natural)
- 2 tablespoons natural sweetener of choice (maple syrup, agave, or plant-based sweet syrup)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- Plant-based whipped topping
- 1/4 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) (optional)
Instructions
- Brew the Coffee: Start by brewing a strong cup of your favorite coffee. Let it cool for a few minutes or use chilled coffee to avoid melting the ice too quickly.
- Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients. In a blender, combine the cooled coffee, plant-based milk, unsweetened cocoa powder (natural), sweetener (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) if using, for a balanced flavor base.
- Blend with Ice: Add a generous amount of ice cubes to the blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture thickens into a smooth, frosty frappe consistency.
- Taste and Adjust: Give your frappe a quick taste test. Adjust sweetness or cocoa levels if needed, and blend briefly again to mix well.
- Serve and Top: Pour the frappe into your favorite glass and add a swirl of plant-based whipped topping on top for that classic café vibe. Optionally, garnish with a dusting of natural cocoa powder or grated plant-based dark chocolate.
Notes
- Use cold coffee to keep your frappe icy and prevent dilution.
- Blend thoroughly to crush ice completely for smooth, slushy texture.
- Adjust sweetness last by adding sweetener gradually and tasting.
- Experiment with different plant-based milks for unique creamy flavors.
- Chill your serving glass to enhance the refreshing experience.
- You can freeze the mixture before blending for a thicker texture and re-blend after thawing slightly.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 24 hours; stir well before serving.
