Ingredients
Frappuccino Base
- 1 cup whole milk (or substitute preferred milk)
- ½ cup chocolate syrup (plus more for drizzle)
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- 2 cups ice
Whipped Cream Topping
- Spray whipped cream OR
- 1 cup whipping cream
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Frappuccino Mixture: Combine the whole milk, chocolate syrup, mini chocolate chips, and ice in a high-powered blender to start forming the frappuccino base.
- Blend Until Smooth: Pulse the mixture to blend until the ice is broken down into equally small pieces, creating a thick, icy texture that's smooth yet slightly chunky from the chocolate chips.
- Serve: Pour the blended mixture evenly between two tall drink glasses. For an extra chocolatey presentation, drizzle additional chocolate syrup around the inside of each glass prior to pouring.
- Add Toppings: Top each drink with whipped cream; use store-bought spray whipped cream for convenience, or prepare fresh whipped cream by whipping 1 cup whipping cream with ¼ cup powdered sugar until soft peaks form, then dollop it on. Finish by drizzling more chocolate syrup over the whipped cream for extra flavor and visual appeal.
Notes
- You can substitute whole milk with any plant-based milk such as almond, soy, or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
- Adjust the amount of chocolate syrup to taste if you prefer it less or more sweet.
- Using mini chocolate chips helps them blend better and provide a consistent texture throughout the frappuccino.
- For an extra caffeine kick, add a shot of espresso or strong brewed coffee to the mixture before blending.
- To make homemade whipped cream, chill the bowl and beaters beforehand for best results.
