Receta Homemade Mocha Frappucinos
If you like Starbucks blended drinks, you will love this homemade mocha frappuccino! Full of mocha flavor and topped with fresh whipped cream, it’s a less expensive alternative to coffee house drinks. So next time you crave a Mocha Frappuccino, walk over to your home blender and make one yourself.
Homemade Mocha Frappuccino
Back in 2009 I shared my version of the homemade mocha frappucino, which was originally inspired by this Iced Chocolate Latte. Over the years we have made these numerous times, it’s a family favorite recipe and is super simple to make.
Is it frugal? Absolutely! I haven’t figured out the unit cost by any means, but at approximately $5.00 for one Frappucino at Starbucks, I can guarantee mine are only a fraction of that price! Here’s a rough guess:
leftover coffee – free!
sugar – pennies
chocolate syrup – $2.00 a bottle?
Instant coffee – $5.00 a jar?
whipping cream – $1.00 8-oz
powdered sugar to sweeten whipping cream – pennies
ice – free!
These certainly aren’t specific prices, but making a homemade mocha frappuccino is definitely a bargain. Even if you add up the price of the entire jar of instant coffee, the full bottle of chocolate syrup and the full container of whipping cream, it’s still less than 2 venti Frapps. Obviously you don’t need the full jar of coffee, the full bottle of chocolate syrup and the full container of whipping cream for one drink, so some math is definitely needed.
