Quick summary
“Homemade frappuccino combines chilled strong coffee, milk, and sugar blended with ice until a creamy frozen texture is finished with whipped cream. It is worth making to save money compared to coffee shops without giving up the velvety and refreshing flavor.”
What you need to know
- Uso de 2 xícaras de café coado bem forte e frio para manter o sabor pronunciado mesmo após a trituração do gelo
- Batimento no liquidificador com 1 xícara de leite, meia xícara de açúcar e 2 xícaras de gelo até emulsão cremosa
- Montagem em copos altos decorados com calda e finalização generosa com um quarto de xícara de chantilly e cacau

- Chocolate powder or chocolate syrup to decorate (optional)
Instructions
Principal
- In a blender, add the cold coffee, milk, sugar, and ice.

Chef's tips
- Prepare o café com o dobro da concentração usual para que a diluição do gelo triturado não deixe o gosto ralo
- Despeje os líquidos primeiro no copo do liquidificador e o gelo por cima para proteger as lâminas do aparelho
- Sirva logo após bater, pois o gelo triturado tende a se separar do leite após alguns minutos na mesa
Variations
- Frappuccino de caramelo decorando o fundo e as laterais do copo com calda de caramelo salgado antes de verter a bebida de café
- Frappuccino de chocolate (mocha) adicionando duas colheres de sopa de chocolate em pó 50% diretamente na jarra com o café
- Versão com baunilha acrescentando uma colher de chá de essência de baunilha e uma pitada de canela em pó ao batimento
Substitutions
- O leite de vaca pode ser substituído por leite de amêndoas, leite de aveia ou leite de coco suave
- O açúcar refinado pode ser trocado por leite condensado, xarope de caramelo ou mel de abelhas
- O chantilly tradicional pode ser substituído por chantilly vegetal de coco batido gelado
How to store
This drink should not be stored after it is ready, as the crushed ice melts and turns the frappuccino into a liquid coffee with milk. Concentrated coffee and syrup, however, can be kept in the refrigerator in sealed jars for up to 4 days.
Can it be frozen?
Freeze the ready-made coffee in ice cube trays for up to 60 days. To prepare the frappuccino at any time, simply blend the frozen coffee cubes with milk and sugar in a blender, eliminating the need for regular ice cubes.
What to serve with
Pairs with blueberry muffins, slices of walnut cake, chocolate chip cookies, or flaky croissants. For an afternoon break, it goes very well with homemade waffles with butter.
Frequently asked questions
Why did my frappuccino turn out very liquid instead of creamy?
This happens if the coffee is lukewarm or if the ice ratio is insufficient; use iced coffee and increase the ice cubes in the blending.
Does the chocolate syrup on the cup walls melt fast?
If the glass is placed in the freezer for 5 minutes before applying the syrup, the chocolate adheres more firmly to the glass walls.
How to make the frappuccino without breaking the blender?
Use the "pulse" function in short 2-second intervals to break the larger stones before turning on the continuous motor speed.
Can I make decaf frappuccino?
Yes, use decaffeinated coffee beans or powder prepared strong and strained to get the same characteristic flavor without the caffeine effects.
