Mocha-Brandy Frappe

Place chocolate, brandy, coffee concentrate, milk, cinnamon, cayenne pepper and vanilla syrup (if using) into a blender and whiz for about 15-20 seconds to mix well.

Add ice and process for approximately one minute or until well blended.

Pour into glasses, add straws and serve.

Optional: top with real whipped cream.

Smith Bites note: If you make your own chocolate sauce and use a 60-70% dark chocolate, you may need a bit more sweetener. If so, use a simple syrup or a teaspoon or two of superfine sugar. If you’re using a milk chocolate or a semi-sweet chocolate to make your sauce, you probably won’t need any additional sweetener.
