The Easiest Homemade Frappuccino Ever!
I posted this super easy homemade frappuccino recipe on my blog when I first started blogging but this stuff is so good it deserved another post with a video!
My husband is a huge coffee lover and told me he wouldn’t be mad if this homemade frappuccino was always in the refrigerator. It’s the best thing in the world when you come home from a crazy day and it’s waiting for ya.
The first thing I do when I get home on a hot summer day is take off my shoes, fling my bra across the room, pour myself a tall glass of frappuccino, grab a magazine, and head for the couch! Ahhhhhh. Best. Feeling.Ever.
This homemade frappuccino is the easier method I’ve come across in a long time. It sure beats having to wait 8 hours for steeping like most homemade frappuccino recipes. It’s super creamy, sweet, and smooth. Trust me; you’ll never buy those bottles of overpriced frappuccino’s once you try this recipe. It’s even good hot.
You can dress it up with chocolate and caramel syrup and top it with whipped cream and toffee bits, but I love it plain Jane.
Watch me make this easy homemade frappuccino from start to finish!!
Get the Recipe: The Easiest Homemade Frappuccino Ever!
Ingredients
- 6 cups cold water
- 3/4 cup coffee, I used chocolate mocha flavor
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Brew coffee to full strength.
- In a blender, add sweetened condensed milk and hot coffee. (I make coffee ice cubes with the leftover coffee that won't fit into the blender.)
- Blend until smooth and creamy. Ensure all condensed milk on the bottom of the blender is mixed in.
- Refrigerate until cold.
- Serve over ice and enjoy.
Notes
I LOVE using flavored coffee with this recipe. My favorite is chocolate mocha, vanilla, mocha, and caramel.
This frappuccino is sweet, so you may want to add the condensed milk a little at a time and taste it after mixing. 14 oz (1 can) is the perfect balance for me, especially since I'm serving it over ice, which can water it down, and the coffee cubes are super strong.
I am obsessed with coffee and this looks delicious!! Does the condensed milk help make it the perfect consistency? I hate when I try to make blended coffee drinks and they are icy and watery. This looks incredible!!
Here’s my favorite so far:
Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino
Here’s a delicious, rich, chocolate mocha Frappuccino you can make at home in about a minute. The pudding is the secret to a rich, thick, non-watery drink. You can also use instant pudding powder.
The calories are about 120 for 12 oz.
I think this tastes better than the one from Starbucks, and it doesn’t cost $ 4.00 for 12 oz.
1 cup Vanilla Almond Milk ;
1/2 cup Coffee Mate French Vanilla Creamer – sugar free (liquid creamer) ;
1/3 cup powdered non-dairy coffee creamer ;
2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder ;
2 Tbsp instant coffee crystals ;
1 (3.25 oz) Jello Vanilla Pudding Snack Pack (prepared pudding cup) – sugar free ;
2 cups ice cubes ;
Add ingredients to blender in order given.
Blend on HIGH for 45-seconds or until smooth.
Makes about 4 cups. 48 oz.
Since I didn’t have and sweetened condensed milk (and didn’t feel like going out to buy any), I just used the 6 cups water and 3/4 cup coffee grounds to make iced coffee. After brewing, I placed the coffee in the refrigerator and when I wanted some iced coffee, I poured some iced coffee in a glass that contained ice, half and half, and agave nectar. So good!
The coffee is strong enough that that addition of ice doesn’t dilute the flavor. Love it!
OH MY GOSH!!! who would have known this combo was soooo delicious! I honestly had doubts when I was gonna try it. Instead of using the chocolate mocha, I got french vanilla and oh my goodness!! It is better then star bucks! I have a huge jug in the fridge waiting to cool down(:
omg balish thank-you
call me dumb but I was confused by the ingredients at first (luckily I figured out what to do before making it). For me, I usually say “coffee” when referring to the finished product and “grounds” when referring to what you add in to make the coffee so I was thinking we were only using 3/4 cup brewed coffee. Maybe personal preference but not sure if others would be confused by it. Luckily I realized when watching the video and how you poured in a whole lot more of 3/4 cup into the blender!
When I made it, rather than using a blender (which I hate cleaning), I just poured everything into a pitcher and used a wisk to stir which turned out great. I decided to make 2 batches since my coffee maker is quick so now I have a pitcher-full of this all in like 10 minutes 🙂 Also, to make mine “mocha” I added in some unsweetened cocoa powder. I was shocked to see theres 120 calories in just 2 TB of the condensed milk–yikes! I’ll have to make sure I control myself with this lol great recipe, thanks!
Sarah ~ Too funny I thought the same thing about the 3/4 cup of coffee, I was like 3/4 c. Coffee and 6 c. Water wow this is really gonna be watery…. Lol ….. I thought I was the only one that thought that’s what Monica ment….
