Iced chocolate frappé

Frappé brings the relaxed vibe of Greek beaches to our homes, but this chocolate version goes a step further: combining the stimulating effect of caffeine with the indulgent world of desserts. Not just an iced coffee, but a drink with a silky, frothy texture where the crunch of slushy ice meets creamy chocolate.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Tall glass
  • Teaspoon or straw

Allergen Information

⚠️ Milk

Instructions

1

In a small glass, mix the instant coffee with the hot water until completely dissolved.

Tip: A little hot water helps achieve a concentrated taste without watering down the drink. (Solubility).
2

Whip the cold double cream until stiff peaks form, and set aside.

Tip: Cream whips up nicely when ice cold, as fat globules are more stable. (Foam formation).
3

Place the ice, cold milk, dissolved (and slightly cooled) coffee, and chocolate syrup into the blender.

Tip: Liquid helps the blender blades catch the ice cubes for a more even crush.
4

Blend the mixture on high speed until the ice cubes disappear and you get a thick, slushy consistency.

Tip: Air gets into the drink while crushing ice, making it light and frothy.
5

Pour the drink into a tall glass, spoon the whipped cream on top, and sprinkle with grated chocolate.

Tip: Serve immediately, as the slushy texture starts melting quickly.

Recipe FAQ

What if I don't have a blender?
Put the ice in a clean tea towel and crush with a rolling pin, then shake with the other ingredients in a shaker.
The drink is too thin.
Next time use less milk, or more ice for a thicker consistency.
Can I use regular espresso?
Yes, but cool it completely before use, otherwise it will melt the ice.
