    My Frappuccino recipe - a cold coffee and chocolate flavored beverage.

    Why make your own Frappuccino (Starbucks cold coffee beverage copycat recipe)?

    Recently both my boys told me they like coffee. But not MY coffee. They like Starbucks coffee. Hmmmm. I don't drink Starbucks coffee often because I find it really strong. And my kids think the coffee I drink has too much of a coffee taste. So, initially, I was confused.

    My Starbucks Frappuccino copycat recipe this to Pinterest

     

    At the grocery store, my son pointed out what they like from Starbucks. They like a coffee flavored drink called a Frappuccino.

    I was at Costco the other day and the case of Starbucks Frappuccino was on sale. Being the wonderful Mom I am, I bought some.  I tasted it.

    Seriously, it tastes like chocolate milk with a hint of coffee. A tiny hint of coffee. And, do you know how expensive buying Frappuccinos would be on a regular basis??  Yes, I'm cheap about some things and like coming up with my own less expensive alternatives.

    I was able to make this with THREE ingredients!

    chocolate milk, coffee and chocolate syrup ready to be poured into mason jars

    How to make my frappuccino recipe.

    1 12 oz mason jar with a lid

    4 oz coffee (cold)

    8 oz 1% chocolate milk

    1 TBS Hershey chocolate syrup.

    Stir well. Yup. That's it. Soooo much cheaper than what you can buy in the store. And, I have everything at home! Now honestly, my version is just a touch less sweet. I could add more chocolate syrup and then it would be as sweet. But, I won't. And, I plan on slowly starting to decrease the chocolate syrup.

    Using mason jars to store this portable cold coffee drink

    The 12 oz mason jar with the lid makes this just as portable as the Frappuccino bottle. And, if your kids like it frothy, that's easy. Make sure the lid is on tight and give it a good shake. Yup. That's all. Take off the lid and then you have bubbles.  I've been a mom for a few years now. I can uncomplicate a lot of things!

    Here's the printable frappuccino recipe

    Frappuccino, a delicious coffee, and chocolaty tasting beverage made popular by Starbucks.  My simple copycat recipe using a few simple ingredients.   I also tell you how to store this so it is portable.

      I started making it myself because of the cost and had saved all my jars from buying it and refill them and make a couple of dozen at a time I love it I use powdered milk, Hersey's choc syrup, shot of caramel and Reddi Whip for sweetness.

      Thanks Patti! I'm just too frugal to spend that kind of money for beverages that I can easily make myself.

      This sounds so delicious! Coffee with some hot chocolate would be wonderful during this winter-that-never-ends!

      I like really strong coffee so I make regular coffee and add a Swiss Miss packet of hot chocolate. You can add cream or coffee mate or anything else you like. If you mix the hot choc with a whip you even get the froth.

      I use my regular coffee maker. I'll confess, I don't like my coffee super strong. But, a previous reader suggested adding a scoop or two of extra coffee to make it taste more like espresso. This isn't a tough or expensive recipe to try. I'd encourage you to try it and by all means, alter it to your taste!

      I haven't had it often enough to figure out the flavors. But, I'll keep this in mind for a future blog post! Thanks.

      I like mine really strong, I always get a double or triple shot. Do I need a special coffee maker?

      Tastey, but I don't think it tastes anything like Starbucks Frappuccinos.

      You could also make your own chocolate syrup, and add any milk to your likeing. ( Cow's milk, almond, soy, coconut, rice, etc). My teenagers do this daily. 🙂

      You could reuse the Starbucks glass bottles too.

      This is most excellent and so easy to make...I made it with decaf Peets Major Dikason blend and made it very strong...your recipe tastes so much like what starbucks puts in the bottle...I think it is funny that your kids like coffee that doesnt taste too much like coffee...this is a wonderful recipe...thanks for sharing this
