This frappuccino recipe comes together in a few minutes with only four basic ingredients. It’s a creamy and delicious blended iced coffee that is popular in coffee shops but is so easy to make with this recipe. And if you love a little extra decadence (and who doesn’t?) top it with a large dollop of my whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate for the ultimate coffee drink!

Frappuccinos are one of my favorite coffee drinks, but I rarely visit coffee shops, so I created my own recipe to make at home. I actually like mine even more, and I make it about two minutes.

There’s nothing like making this frappuccino on a warm day – or any day that you want it!

Make this decadent coffee drink at home in minutes with just four simple ingredients. You can then choose optional toppings to personalize it. Here’s how you’ll make it.

Ingredients

To make this amazing frappuccino at home, you’ll need the following ingredients:

Ice – I recommend using crushed ice. If you have ice cubes, just place them into a zip top bag and carefully break the ice cubes into smaller pieces with the back of a spoon.
Espresso or Strong Coffee – this is the key to a delicious frappuccino! You can use a home espresso maker or just brew very, very strong coffee to use instead.
Milk – use your favorite half-and-half, milk or milk alternative (soy, almond, oat milk , etc).
Sweetener – use your sweetener of choice from granulated sugar to sugar alternatives such as stevia, honey, etc.
Optional Toppings – Whipped cream and chocolate syrup bring that coffee-house style fancy coffee drink right home!
