Toasted Coconut Mocha Frappuccino
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee, chilled (french press or cold brew is best-decaf recommended)
- 8 coconut milk ice cubes (or other milk, 3/4 cup full fat or light coconut milk)
- 14 cup toasted unsweetened coconut, flake (plus more for topping)
- 2 tablespoons light chocolate syrup (or other chocolate sauce plus more for topping)
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 0.5 (13 1/2 ounce) canfull fat coconut milk
- 14 cup powdered sugar
- 12 teaspoon vanilla extract
- The night before making, pour your (well-shaken) coconut milk (about 1 can) into an ice cube tray.
- Youll need 8-10 cubes for one drink, and one can yields about one full tray.
- Save the leftover cubes for another drink.
- In the morning, toast your coconut by spreading 1/4 on a baking sheet and cooking for 3-5 minutes in a 350 degree (F) oven.
- Next place all ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth and well combined.
- To thicken, add more coconut ice cubes.
- To thin, add more coffee or chocolate syrup.
- Serve immediately, or freeze for later.
- Top with coconut whipped cream, more toasted coconut and a drizzle of chocolate syrup, if desired.
- To make coconut whipped cream:.
- Place your coconut milk in the fridge overnight or in the freezer for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Upon removal, be careful NOT to shake the can as you want the cream to remain separated from the liquid.
- Open the can and scoop the top layer of cream into a chilled mixing bowl.
- Whip on medium-high until soft peaks form.
- (Add a dash of the remaining coconut liquid if its too thick.
- ).
- Add powdered sugar and vanilla and whip again to combine.
- Taste and adjust flavor/sweetness accordingly.
- Serve with hot cocoa and reserve the rest in an airtight container in the fridge for later use.
