Break free from the green topless mermaid and save yourself some money at the same time. Make your own frappuccinos and mocha frappuccinos at home. Making these at home allows you the flexibility of controlling the amount of sugar, type of milk(s), and flavoring (therefore calories) to cater to whatever it is you’re craving.
Blend all the ingredients except the whipped cream and chocolate syrup in a blender for 30-45 seconds. Pour into a tall glass and top off with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate syrup. Best served with a straw. Enjoy!
Note: if you don’t have an espresso machine, use 3/4 cup of double strength (strong) coffee mixed with 1/2 cup of milk and increased crushed iced amount by 1/4 cup.
MOCHA FRAPPUCCINO VARIATION:
Prepare everything the same way as a regular frappuccino (recipe above) except reduce sugar to 2 tablespoons and add 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup. Enjoy!
Other variations:
Use Splenda, flavored coffee syrups, or flavored coffee creamers for a portion of the milk. For a richer beverage, use half-and-half, or heavy cream for a portion of the milk.

Great recipe!
I don’t like coffee, so I used cold hot chocolate in place of the espresso, plus left out the sugar, adding extra cocoa powder to taste along with a few chocolate chips. Blending the ice was a little tricky, but it was definitely worth it!! Almost like starbucks! =)

Just made this and was very impressed. Since my nearest Starbucks is 1.5 hrs drive away I’ll be relying on this over the the summer. Thanks!

Didn’t taste like a Starbucks frappuccino but the taste wasn’t bad at all.

I’m a Starbucks addict. My usual is a tall mocha frapp, double blended with no whip. It’s Christmas. I need more money. So I will be trying this out, hehe. I’m so excited, thanks for the share!

Several of us actually made these at work today! We used splenda and they were fabulous!
