Ingredients
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk (whole, 2%, or dairy-free alternative like oat or almond)
- 1 1/2 cups (210 g) ice, cubed
- 1/3 cup (60 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips (mini chips or dark chocolate chips optional)
- 2 tablespoons (10 g) unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-process or regular)
- 2 tablespoons (25 g) granulated sugar (or coconut sugar, honey, or sugar alternative)
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Whipped cream (for topping, dairy or coconut-based)
- Chocolate syrup (for drizzling, optional)
Instructions
- Measure out all ingredients: milk, ice, chocolate chips, cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Set aside whipped cream and chocolate syrup for topping.
- Pour the milk into your blender. Add ice, chocolate chips, cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Blend on high for 30-45 seconds, or until the ice is crushed and the mixture is thick and frothy. Scrape down the sides if needed and blend again.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or chocolate intensity as desired. Add more sugar or chocolate syrup if needed, or a splash more milk if too thick.
- Drizzle chocolate syrup inside a chilled glass if desired. Pour in the frappuccino, top with whipped cream, and finish with more chocolate chips or a chocolate syrup drizzle.
- Serve immediately for best texture. Optionally, garnish with shaved chocolate, cocoa powder, or a pinch of sea salt.
Notes
For a vegan version, use plant-based milk, dairy-free chocolate chips, and coconut whipped cream. For a mocha twist, add 1/4 cup brewed coffee or 1-2 teaspoons instant espresso powder. Use mini chocolate chips for a smoother texture. Adjust sweetness and chocolate intensity to taste. Serve immediately for best results, or freeze and re-blend if making ahead. Leftovers can be poured into popsicle molds for a frozen treat.
