The Best McDonald's Mocha Frappe
Honestly, there's nothing better than fresh coffee to perk you up in the morning. I mean, the delicious smell of roasted coffee beans itself is enough to make you jump out of bed and get excited for the day ahead. Atleast that's what the smell does to me.
So, it should come as no surprise that I am so excited to share this quick and easy McDonald's mocha frappe recipe with you. McDonald's frappuccinos are delicious, creamy, and have a bold, rich flavor that is blended up with just the perfect amount of ice.
And trust me, this recipe is no different! This mocha frappe recipe is so smooth and it has the perfect balance of brewed coffee and sweet chocolate.
Oh, and there are so many ways you can personalize this sweet blended coffee. For example, you can use flavored syrup drizzles when you make it, coffee ice cubes to add a more caffeinated punch to it, or even some flavored heavy cream for added flavor. The options are basically endless when it comes to customizing it.
By the way, if you're looking for more tasty drinks to jump-start your day, you have to give this iced white chocolate mocha, vanilla sweet cream cold foam, and salted caramel cream cold brew a try!
And all it takes is a few minutes, and simple ingredients for you to taste this delicious blended coffee. So, let's see what you need to make this copycat McDonald's mocha frappé!
Ingredients
Ok, so this recipe is so easy to make. It only takes about a minute from start to finish to whip up, and it uses super simple ingredients.
Here's what you'll need to make this McDonald's mocha frappé:
- 3 cups Coffee
- ¼ cup Sugar
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 cup Half and Half
- 2 cups Ice Cubes
- Chocolate Syrup (¼ to ⅓ cup depending on how chocolatey you want it)
- Whipped Cream
See? Super simple stuff, right!
And you can use almost all of these ingredients to make this pumpkin cream cold brew, so you'll definitely want to make that during the fall season.
Ingredient Substitutions
So, as you may have noticed, this iced drink is made with 2 cups of milk and 1 cup of half and half. But, you can use any type of milk you prefer - so if you want your frappé to be extra creamy, use whole milk.
You can even add a dash of sweetened condensed milk for a thicker consistency and sweeter flavor. I know it sounds odd, but sweetened condensed milk is actually really good in coffee drinks.
Also, if you want to make your mocha frappé dairy free, you can use oat milk to add some extra creaminess or almond milk or soy milk for a light and sweet addition.
Oh, and you can also use flavored cream instead of half and half. A mocha flavored creamer is a great way to bring out the other chocolatey flavors in this McDonald's mocha frappe.
As for the coffee, freshly brewed coffee that has been chilled works great for this drink. But, you can even use premade iced coffee - or cold brew - to make this mocha frappe. I like using the store-bought kinds of those coffee options since it makes the recipe even quicker and more convenient to make.
By the way, if you're making coffee, you can use any extra that you have to make this McDonald's iced coffee recipe! It's always a big hit at our house.
Of course, a McDonald's frappe is not a frappe without some whipped cream. If you want to go the extra mile, you can make some homemade whipped cream with heavy whipping cream to top your blended creation.
Anyway, now that you have your game plan, let's get making this delicious McDonald's mocha frappé.
How To Make McDonald's Mocha Frappe
As I've mentioned a few times, this recipe takes just minutes to make, and it could not be any easier.
Honestly, it's easier and quicker than picking up coffee from the drive-thru! And it's much cheaper too.
Now, without further adieu, here's how to make McDonald's mocha frappe!
Step 1: Blend the Ingredients
First, you're going to add the coffee, sugar, milk, half and half, chocolate syrup, and ice cubes to a blender.
Then, pulse the blender to mix all the ingredients, and blend until you get an icy frappuccino consistency.
Step 2: Serve
Now you're going to pour the blended coffee into one large glass or two small glasses. Then, to finish it off, put some whipped topping on it and drizzle with chocolate syrup.
How To Store McDonald's Mocha Frappe
This mocha frappe is so delicious, but it does make a lot of frappe deliciousness.
I mean, 6 cups of cappuccino is awesome if you're hosting, but it might be a tad to much if it's just you at home by yourself.
So, I recommend either halving the recipe if you think it'll be too much coffee for you. Or, if you do end up with some left-over you can always store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours!
Then, whenever you want to drink it, just blend it up again, so everything is nice and combined.
Now, what I like to do when I'm thinking about making this mocha frappuccino is to make the brewed coffee ahead of time, so I can whip up this drink in minutes! So, if you want to do what I do, and brew your own coffee, you can store it in a sealed glass jar or container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Wrapping It All Up
Well, that's how to make a Mcdonald's mocha frappe from scratch!
Seriously, this mocha frappe recipe is so easy to make that you'll love making it as your go-to coffee in the morning.
No more sitting in the drive-thru waiting to spend money on this frozen coffee, now you can have it at home any time you want!
