Banana rum frappé in a glass
Boozy and creamy iced coffee treat

Banana rum frappé

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Drinks
The evolution of the frappé: the classic Greek iced coffee gets a Caribbean twist here. The bitterness of the coffee, the sweetness of the banana, and the full aroma of the rum create a complex flavour profile that invigorates and relaxes at the same time. The secret to the texture is crushing the banana and ice together, resulting in a thick, slush-like consistency rather than watery coffee.

Instructions

1 ✓

Brew the coffee and let it cool to at least room temperature.

Tip: Never pour hot coffee onto the ice in the blender, as it melts it immediately, making the drink watery, not slushy.
2 ✓

Peel the banana, break into pieces and throw into the blender.

Tip: If you have time, you can freeze the banana beforehand, making the result even creamier and more ice-cream like.
3 ✓

Pour the cooled coffee, cold milk, honey, and rum over the banana.

Tip: The liquid ingredients help the blender start working.
4 ✓

Add the ice cubes.

Tip: The amount of ice determines the thickness. If you want to spoon it, add more.
5 ✓

Blend on high speed until the ice cubes are completely crushed and the drink is a uniform light brown colour and foamy.

Tip: The cold released while crushing the ice 'fixes' the foam.
6 ✓

Pour into a tall glass.

Tip: Leave space at the top for the whipped cream!
7 ✓

Crown with the whipped cream and sprinkle the cinnamon on top.

Tip: The scent of cinnamon reaches your nose first with every sip, intensifying the sensation of sweetness.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use instant coffee?
Yes, but make it very strong (with little water) so the ice doesn't dilute the taste too much.
Can I skip the whipped cream?
Of course, the drink is creamy enough on its own due to the banana; the cream makes it more dessert-like.
