M is for Mocha and Milkshake!
When you need a cool caffeine boost, whip up this creamy mocha milkshake made with frozen coffee cubes and chocolate syrup!
I originally found this recipe on the Blendtec website, where they call it a mocha frappe. But in New England, we’d call this a milkshake instead, since frappes here always have ice cream.
How to Make a Mocha Milkshake:
1. Freeze the CoffeeBrew your coffee stronger than usual, cool it down, and pour 2 cups into an ice cube tray. Freeze until solid—about 2–3 hours.
2. Blend It All Together
In a blender, combine coffee ice cubes, milk, sweetener of your choice, and chocolate syrup. Blend on a medium-low setting or “Ice Crush” for 30–40 seconds.
3. Serve and Enjoy
Pour into glasses and enjoy immediately while cold and frothy.

ReplyDeleteIt is so hot and humid right now. Wish I could just grab that refreshing and cooling mocha milkshake. Handy to have coffee ice cubes in the freezer.
