I’m sure that you all have read over and over about how much I LOVE Mocha Frappe’s from McDonald’s.  I’m a big addict and I don’t even like coffee…well, that was until I had one of these!  I have used up my stash of FREE Mocha Frappe coupons…some which were given to me (thanks, Mandi) and I just can’t stand paying over $2.00 for a small one. 

I decided to give the World Wide Web a try at finding a recipe that was similar to the McDonald’s Mocha Frappe.  The very first recipe I attempted was a complete SUCCESS!!  It’s very quick and easy to make and you can change the recipe around to your liking.  I mean, you can’t hardly mess up when it comes to coffee, milk, chocolate syrup, sugar, and ice right??!!

So below you’ll find a recipe that I found online through a Yahoo Answers submission.  You can find the recipe here or just keep reading below.

HomeMade Mocha Frappe Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups Cold Coffee
• 2 Cups Milk
• 1/4 Cup Chocolate Syrup
• 1/4 Cup Sugar

Directions:

• Freeze the coffee in ice cube trays.  Blend everything until smooth and enjoy!!  Yes, really…that’s all there is to it!  Make sure to look below for variations!!

Variations:

1.  Okay, first off I don’t have to have the pretty cool whip and chocolate syrup drizzle on top.  If you are preparing these for a party or something of that nature then I probably would add that just for “prettiness” sake. 

2.  I don’t have a blender.  I have a Smoothie Maker.  The difference is that the blades aren’t really meant for blending ice, so I had to use a food processor to chop up the coffee ice cubes into smaller pieces. 

3.  I didn’t use 2 cups of milk…I only used 1 1/2 cups.  I liked that thickness but you can taste it yourself and see if you’d rather add the extra milk.

4.  I didn’t measure the chocolate syrup…eeeek.  I just squirted it in.  Also, I’m not sure that I used all of the sugar that the recipe calls for.  I just scooped some out and dumped it in.

5.  If you prefer Caramel over Mocha, then add Caramel Syrup or Topping.  Also, if you just prefer an icey coffee just add the coffee without any of the other flavorings.

Now, as you can tell I didn’t follow this recipe to a T.  Most times I measure everything when cooking.  I think I was just too impatient to measure plus the fact that because of my 4 year old, I have NO IDEA where any of my measuring cups are!!!!!  You won’t want to blend the ice too, too much if you like it really icey.  This recipe is totally customizable and you can omit or add anything I think to your liking. 

I’d love to know what you think.  After you’ve tried it out, please come back and let me know!!!

Blessings~
