This better-for-you almond milk Frappuccino packs the flavor of what you’ll get at Starbucks, but it uses better ingredients and won’t break the bank!


Ingredients

Scale

 For Chocolate Sauce:

  • 1 cup (100 g) Cocoa Powder
  • 1 cup Almond Milk, unsweetened
  • 1 tbsp Coconut Oil
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) Monk Fruit Sweetener

For Frappuccino:

  • 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee or espresso, cooled
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 3 tbsp chocolate sauce
  • 1 cup crushed ice
  • Whipped cream, for topping
  • Chocolate sauce, for topping and drizzling on the glass

Instructions

Chocolate Sauce:

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the cocoa powder, unsweetened almond milk, coconut oil, and Monk Fruit. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined.
  2. Place the bowl in the microwave and cook on high for about 45 seconds.
  3. Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave and stir the mixture.
  4. Return the bowl to the microwave and cook on high for another 45 seconds.
  5. Check the consistency of the mixture. If it hasn’t reached your desired consistency, you can microwave it for a few more seconds.
  6.  Alternatively, you can make the chocolate sauce in a small saucepan. Combine the cocoa powder, unsweetened almond milk, coconut oil, and monk fruit. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined. Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and constantly stir until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy.
  7. Once the sauce has reached your desired consistency, remove it from the microwave and let it cool for a 20-30 minutes.

Frappucino:

  1. Brew a cup of strong coffee and let it cool.
  2. In a blender, combine the cooled coffee, almond milk, chocolate sauce, and Monk Fruit.
  3. Add the ice cubes and blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Drizzle chocolate sauce inside the glass before pouring in the frappuccino.
  5. Pour the frappuccino into the glass and top with whipped cream.
  6. Drizzle additional chocolate sauce over the whipped cream.
  7. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Any sweetener of your choice can be used instead of Monk Fruit Sweetener.
  • Caramel sauce can be used instead of sugar-free chocolate sauce for non-low-carb diets. Note that using Monk Fruit Sweetener for caramel sauce isn’t ideal and requires additional ingredients.
  • Let the chocolate sauce cool before adding it to the blender to avoid a watery frappuccino.
  • Frozen almond milk cubes can be used for an extra-thick drink.
  • Add more sweetener or vanilla extract for a sweeter taste.
  • Use more coffee or espresso for a stronger coffee flavor.
  • Chocolate sauce can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to a week.
  • Add a scoop of protein powder for an extra protein boost.
