Benefits of making your own mocha coffee at home

Frozen coffees are seemingly everywhere these days.

From Starbucks, to McDonalds, to Dunkin Donuts, you don’t have to travel far to get your summer coffee fix.

It probably comes as no surprise that these frosty coffee drinks are far from healthy. A McDonalds Frappe Mocha packs 560 calories, 70 grams sugar(!), and an entire day’s worth of saturated fat into just one 16 ounce glass.

And a Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino, weighing in with 360 calories and 54 grams sugar, is hardly much better.

Luckily, recreating these creamy blended mocha beverages at home is extremely easy and can save you hundreds of calories per serving.

Not to mention all that sugar.

Topping it with Coconut Whipped Cream barely even moves the nutrition stats on this smooth, frosty beverage.

Translation: You can top your creamy frosted mocha drink with a mountain of homemade whipped cream.

All iced coffee should come with a mountain of whipped cream.

Mocha whipped coffee ingredients

Coffee – The recipe calls for instant coffee, which provides an intense coffee flavor without watering down the drink. You may use regular or decaf coffee granules.

Milk – Use full fat coconut milk, soymilk, whole milk, or barista oat milk for extra creamy results. Or go with low calorie unsweetened almond milk if you want a light version.

Cocoa Powder – Choose high quality unsweetened cocoa powder to give the coffee beverage a bold chocolate taste. As a fun variation, swap the cocoa for hot chocolate powder instead.

Sweetener – Add your favorite sweetener of choice to taste. Options that work well include regular sugar or unrefined sugar, pure maple syrup, honey, pitted dates, or sugar free stevia or powdered monk fruit. I do not provide a specific amount of sweetener in the recipe because it depends on if you use a sweetened milk and your own personal tastes. Taste the mixture before freezing, and sweeten as desired.

Other Ingredients – The frozen mocha recipe also calls for a pinch of salt for balance and pure vanilla extract to deepen the chocolate and coffee flavors.

How to make a blended frozen mocha beverage

Begin by combining the milk, cocoa powder, instant coffee granules, vanilla extract, salt, and sweetener in a large measuring cup. Whisk all ingredients well.
Taste, the increase sweetener if needed. You want the mixture to taste a little overly sweet, because the intensity of the sweetness decreases once frozen.
Pour into an ice cube tray or a shallow plastic container. Popsicle molds work too. You can do this step days in advance, for an almost instant frozen coffee whenever a craving hits.
Once frozen, pop the coffee mixture out of the containers and into a high speed blender. (Note: If your blender is not very powerful, let the coffee ice cubes thaw a bit before processing in the machine. You can technically make the recipe in a personal blender or food processor if the frozen coffee thaws first.)
Blend on high until thick and frosty, with a slushy Frappuccino texture.
Top the single serving frozen beverage with whipped cream and chocolate syrup or hot fudge sauce. Or dust with cocoa powder and serve in a fancy chilled glass with a straw.

For an option without a blender, make this Vegan Iced Latte

1. Whisk all ingredients together until evenly mixed.
2. Taste, then add sweetener as needed. You want it to taste a little overly sweet, as the sweetness will decrease once frozen.
3. Pour the mixture into an ice cube tray, shallow plastic container, or popsicle molds. Freeze. (You can do this step days in advance.)
4. Pop the frozen coffee into a high speed blender. Or if using a regular (not as powerful) blender, allow the coffee ice cubes to thaw enough that your machine can easily blend them. Blend on high until thick and slushy, with a texture similar to a Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino.
5. Serve with whipped cream and chocolate syrup if desired.
