Are you one of those night owls? Or just simply craving a refreshing coffee loaded with chocolate and cookies? If you go to a store they’ll charge you so highly that you may want to rob the bank. Relax, we don’t want you to rob the bank.

That is we are here with the best mocha cookie crumble frappuccino recipe, and trust me it is the most delicious. I personally added a customizable option at the end. Let’s jump into it.

Making it home will give you customizable options, and it is low in cost compared to stores.

Best Way to Make Frappuccino At Home

Ingredients:

• 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled (preferably espresso)
• 1/2 cup milk of your choice (whole, almond, oat, etc.)
• 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup or sauce
• 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
• 4 Oreo cookies, roughly crushed
• 1-2 cups ice cubes
• Whipped cream, for topping (optional)
• Additional crushed Oreo cookies, for garnish (optional)

Easy Steps to Your Homemade Frappuccino

1. Blend dry ingredients: Combine the crushed Oreo cookies and chocolate chips in a blender. Pulse a few times to break down the cookies further, but leave some texture.
2. Add wet ingredients: Add the coffee, milk, and chocolate syrup to the blender. Blend until smooth.
3. Incorporate ice: Gradually add the ice cubes, blending each addition until you reach your desired consistency. You can start with 1 cup and add more for a thicker frappuccino.
4. Serve and enjoy: Pour the frappuccino into a glass and top with whipped cream and additional crushed Oreo cookies, if desired.

Tips & Tricks for Your Ideal Frappuccino

• You can adjust the amount of chocolate syrup, sugar, and ice to match your taste preferences.
• If you want a richer flavor, use dark chocolate syrup or sauce.
• Instead of Oreo cookies, you can use other chocolate cookies like Chips Ahoy or chocolate wafer cookies.
• If you don’t have strong brewed coffee, you can mix instant coffee powder with hot water.
• If you want to thicken the frappuccino without adding more ice, consider adding a small amount of xanthan gum (about 1/4 teaspoon) while blending.

Special tips for the vegan: To make the frappuccino vegan, use plant-based milk and vegan whipped cream.

The Art of Customization: Every Option Is Good

Coffee:

• Strength: Use cold brew or espresso for a stronger coffee flavor, or regular brewed coffee for a milder taste.
• Flavor: Experiment with different coffee varieties like hazelnut, vanilla, or caramel for added complexity.
• Sweetness: Adjust the amount of chocolate syrup or sweetener to your liking. You can even use stevia, honey, or maple syrup for natural sweetness.

Milk:

• Type: Explore different milk options like whole milk for richness, almond milk for low fat, or oat milk for creaminess.
• Flavor: Opt for flavoured milk options like vanilla or chocolate for additional taste variations.

Chocolate:

• Syrup: Try different chocolate sauces based on your preference for dark, milk, or white chocolate.
• Chips: Substitute mini chocolate chips with chopped chocolate bars, cocoa nibs, or even peanut butter cups for a twist.

Cookies:

• Type: Go beyond Oreo cookies and experiment with other chocolate cookies like Chips Ahoy, chocolate wafers, or even biscoff cookies.
• Amount: Adjust the amount of cookies based on your desired level of cookie crumble and sweetness.
• Flavor: Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a sprinkle of caramel sauce for extra flavor bursts.

Toppings:

• Whipped cream: Use homemade whipped cream with a hint of vanilla or cocoa powder for a delightful touch.
• Drizzle Top with additional chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, strawberry sauce, and even a light dusting of cocoa powder for visual appeal. Drizzle is the final item that is used to make the frappuccino visually appealing. It is used in other frappuccinos too.
• Sprinkles: Use chocolate sprinkles, crushed nuts, lotus Biscoff krunch, or even mini marshmallows for a fun and festive touch.

Tips from the Barista:

• If you want a thicker and creamier texture you can use frozen bananas. That is only if you want to avoid ice.
• You can always add a pinch of espresso powder for an extra coffee kick.
• You can use protein powder for a more filling and nutritious drink but in proper amount.

Remember, the key is to experiment and find the combination that best suits your taste buds! Don’t be afraid to get creative and personalize your Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino to your heart’s content.

Whipped cream: Optional or Mandatory?

In most cases it is not mandatory, however, if you are a classic texture lover then it is mandatory for you. It will add a light and creamy finishing touch, balancing the richness.

Alternatives to whipped cream

• Coconut whipped cream
• Greek yogurt
• No topping is also fine
