Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk I used whole milk but skim, low-fat, or plant-based also works well
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar adjust according to your taste. You can also replace it with maple syrup, agave nectar, honey, or sugar-free substitutes like stevia or monk fruit
- ¼ cup mini dark chocolate chips save some for garnishing
- 2 tablespoons chocolate sauce I used Hershey's
- 1 and ½ cups ice cubes crush them if your blender is not powerful
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
- 2 shots espresso or ½ cup strongly brewed coffee, optional, not added at Starbucks
- whipped cream for topping, optional
Instructions
- Add milk, sugar, chocolate chips, chocolate sauce, ice, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to a high-speed blender.
- If your blender is not very powerful, use crushed ice in place of ice cubes.
- Blend until smooth. Start on low speed to prevent overflow, and slowly increase to the highest setting.
- Note - Starbucks doesn't add coffee in their chocolate chip frappe. But if you are a coffee lover, add 2 shots of espresso or ½ cup of strongly brewed coffee while blending.
- Pour the drink into 2 tall serving glasses (20-24 oz).
- Top with whipped cream.
- Garnish with chocolate sauce and choco chips and serve immediately.
Notes
Store-bought beverages sometimes have Xanthan Gum added to them, Starbucks adds it too. It thickens and stabilizes the drinks and does not let the ingredients separate from each other. When making chocolate chip frappe at home, you can choose to add it or not. If adding, then use ¼ teaspoon in the recipe given above.
Add a splash of bourbon or dark rum for an adult version.
Add a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream or a tablespoon of instant vanilla pudding to make a creamier drink.
Replace chocolate sauce with caramel or butterscotch syrup.
If you want your frappuccino to stay colder for a longer time, then freeze the serving glasses for 30 minutes before pouring the drink into them.
