Love all your recipes. keep them coming, please. Thank you.
You are so sweet Joyce! Thank you so much! I will definitely keep them coming!
It’s crazy how expensive mocha frappes are if you go out to order them! I’m definitely all about saving money and making these at home instead. Freezing the ice cubes of coffee is such a great idea to keep from watering down the drink. I’m thinking this would make for a great mid-morning treat on a hot summer day!
The ice cube trick really makes such a difference… and once you’ve done that you might as well and make one every morning all hot summer long! 🙂
I’ve been looking for a solid copycat Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino and this is it! Using frozen coffee cubes is such a game changer because it doesn’t water the drink down. It’s the perfect easy homemade frappe for my morning caffeine fix without the coffee shop price tag.
Exactly… why pay the big bucks for a coffee shop frappe when you can so easily make a fabulous tasting copycat frappe right in your own kitchen!
Very tasty and so easy!!
I am so glad you liked it Norma! I hope you have a beautiful day!!
Mmmmm I love this mocha frappe it looks so good! I’d save so much money by making this at home!
Thanks, Christie! And you’re right… you won’t believe how much you’ll save! 🙂
