I found a bang-up ice coffee recipe years ago, but up until now, I equitable couldn ’ t find a homemade frappe that I sincerely loved .
That changed recently when I discovered the trick of using coffee ice cubes. abruptly I could make a frappe at dwelling that wasn ’ t mediocre !
And I ’ meter excited to show you how to make a frappe excessively !

By subbing coffee ice cubes, you suddenly get a nice, strong coffee flavor – merely the means it should be !

Ingredients
- 1 cup potent, dependable quality brewed coffee, freeze into cubes ( see Notes below )
- ½ cup milk
- 3 tablespoons boodle or more to taste ( see Notes below for a calorie free option )
- 2 tablespoons caramel syrup
- whipped cream and yellowish brown syrup for top ( optional )
Instructions
- place all ingredients except flog cream in blender .
- Blend until ice cubes are crushed. If you have fuss getting it thoroughly blended, let it sit for a couple of minutes and try again. **
- top with blister cream and drizzle with caramel syrup.
Notes
- For me, 1 cup is 7 ice cubes.
- After several months of making this, I’ve discovered that if you let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes before blending it works much better! I just get it ready as soon as I get up in the morning and by the time I get dressed and eat my breakfast, it’s ready to blend!
- To cut calories a bit, I now sub some of my favorite stevia for part of the sugar. By using some sugar, I don’t notice that unique stevia taste, but still get the benefit of fewer calories.
- If you want a stronger coffee flavor, add just a bit of instant coffee.
update : I ultimately got bright and started defrosting the internal-combustion engine cubes in the microwave for about 45 seconds. I do it precisely long enough that it softens them a bit, but not hanker adequate to melt them and lose the slushiness that they give the ice. It works like a charm !
