This is my FAVORITE Starbucks drink! There can be 10 inches of snow on the ground and I still crave this icy drink! But we all know that these little Starbucks drinks are $4 a pop! So I was DELIGHTED to find that my oldest sister, Kristen, has discovered how to make these at home - bless her heart! This is what older sisters are for right? lol!
Last week, while the kids swam at her house - she whipped one up (actually two and she offered me thirds but who's counting right?) and it was delicious!!! Here's the recipe:
Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino
3/4 cup double-strength coffee
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 cup low-fat milk
2 cups ice
3 Tbls. Hershey's Chocolate
Optional:
3 Tbs whipped cream
trade chocolate syrup for caramel copping to make a Caramel Frappuccino
Directions:
Make double-strength coffee by brewing with twice the coffee required by your coffee maker(that should be 2 tablespoons of ground coffee per each cup of coffee). Chill before using.
Then combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend on high speed until ice is crushed and drink is smooth. Pour into two 16-ounce glasses, and serve with a straw.
MOCHA Version:
For this version, add 3 tablespoons Hershey's chocolate syrup to the original recipe and prepare as described. Top each glass with whipped cream, if desired.
CARAMEL Version:
For this version, add 3 tablespoons of caramel topping to the original recipe and prepare as described. Top each glass with whipped cream and drizzle additional caramel over the whipped cream.
If you have one of these going in the blender you must invite me over - cause there's enough for two you know? Enjoy!

I'm going to make this THIS morning. I'm having a pregnancy craving, and it looks good!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Is it really that simple?! I'll definitely be trying that tonight when my hubby gets home. We both LOVE this drink from Starbucks!
ReplyDeleteLately, we've been using a cappuccino mix and blending it with vanilla ice cream and milk to make shakes. But the Mocha Frap is MUCH better! :)
Thank you SO much for sharing!!!!
Thanks.:) This is my favorite drink at Starbucks to.:) Haven't been to starbucks in about a year now.:( Do not have one close enough. I live way in the country. The closest one is about 45 minutes away. Thanks again.:)
ReplyDeleteSharon:)
Yum! Thanks for sharing your recipe. I need to get this down pat and memorized so I can make it any time I like.
ReplyDeleteYou have just saved me so much money--haha. I can't beleive it's really that simple--that's amazing!
ReplyDeleteOh my! Thank you for the recipes!!
ReplyDeletethank you so much for this. i will be trying the caramel one for my husband. i personally dont like any kind of coffee but my husband loves it and ive been waiting to recreate one at home to make him happy and save us alittle money in the meantime.
ReplyDeleteYummy!!! I'll have to try this recipe. That would definitely save some $$$
ReplyDeleteMocha Frappuccinos are the best! Thanks, I will have to try this. =)
ReplyDeleteI didn't even know I wanted one of these until you showed me. Lead me not into temptation, sister. ;)
ReplyDeleteSweet! You just made my day. I second the pregnancy craving and often cave into paying the $4 at Starbucks.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your recipe! Just a suggestion: You might want to chill the coffee before mixing or make your ice cubes out of coffee. These steps prevent it from tasting watered down or getting melty too quickly.
ReplyDeleteyou just became my new best friend posting this recipe!!! I cannot wait to make this :-) thank you thank you!
ReplyDeletejust last week, i posted my verson of starbucks iced white chocolate mocha! how funny! http://kandidkiwi.blogspot.com/2010/07/starbucks-for-less.html
ReplyDeleteWe recently moved to the country, and the nearest Starbucks is about 45 minutes away (I mean REALLY the country!). So not only is this a savings, it makes it possible for us to have these at all - absolutely going to pick up the chocolate and caramel toppings and enjoy these this weekend with my husband - he loves iced caramel lattes and I'm pretty sure I can take this recipe and tweak it a bit to come up with a good imitation.

ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU!! I am a college student. I love coffee, and drink it a lot when I'm studying, but it's so expensive. I think this will save my senior year :)
