Starbucks Frappuccino Copycat Pt. 2

Ok, so I know that I already posted a Starbucks frappuccino copycat recipe, but you will want to try this one as well. It is quite tasty and unlike the previous recipe, this one has a texture more like Starbucks! It is creamy and yummy and smooth. 

Are you ready for the secret? Ok, here it is….MILK CUBES!!! I know, crazy right?! But it works! I promise! Instead of using ice cubes, freeze milk into cubes and blend those up with the coffee and flavoring! It’s so good!

So here is what you will need…

• 6 MILK CUBES 
• 4.5 oz of chilled COFFEE (just make a cup of your favorite coffee and throw it in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes until it is cool so it won’t melt the milk cubes)

To flavor the frappuccino I have used…

• 1.5 oz or 3 Tbs CARAMEL COFFEE CREAMER

Or…

• 1.5 Tbs CHOCOLATE SYRUP, you could probably use less syrup, but I have a little bit of a sweet tooth… ;)

All you have to do is combine the milk cubes, chilled coffee, and flavoring in a blender (or Ninja food processor) and blend! It’s soooo easy and it’s soooo good!

I always forget to take a picture right after I made it because I am so eager to drink it, but here are a few not so great pictures of the half drank frappuccinos I've made…

Starbucks Frappuccino Copycat

Here is a Starbucks copycat mocha frappuccino recipe! I’ll tell you now that one of the hardest things to replicate is the texture of the frappuccino. This recipe has a good flavor, but whether using my blender or my Ninja food processor (which actually blends better than the blender!) I don’t get a very smooth ice texture. With that said, it’s still pretty good!

What you will need is:

• 1 Tbs INSTANT COFFEE (regular or decaf)
• 2 Tbs FRENCH VANILLA COFFEE CREAMER
• 2 Tbs CHOCOLATE SYRUP
• 1/2 cup MILK
• 10 ICE CUBES

The recipe I adapted this from is at: http://www.laaloosh.com/2011/08/04/diy-light-frappuccino-recipe/
