Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) espresso or strong coffee, cooled
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-processed)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk (or oat/cashew milk)
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups ice cubes
  • 1 can full-fat coconut cream (chilled overnight)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons powdered sugar or maple powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  1. Chill the can of full-fat coconut cream in the fridge overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  2. Brew 1/2 cup (120 ml) of espresso or very strong coffee and let it cool completely.
  3. In a blender, combine cooled espresso, 1 cup (240 ml) almond milk, 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and 1 to 1 1/2 cups ice cubes. Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until smooth and frothy.
  4. Scoop the solid coconut cream from the chilled can into a cold mixing bowl, avoiding the watery part. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Whip the coconut cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy peaks form, about 3 to 5 minutes. Optionally, add a pinch of cocoa powder and whip briefly for a mocha twist.
  6. Pour the blended frappuccino into a glass and dollop or pipe the coconut whip on top. Dust with cocoa powder if desired.
  7. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Use full-fat coconut cream for best whipping results. Chill all equipment and ingredients to help the coconut whip hold its shape. Adjust sweetness to taste. If frappuccino is too thin, add more ice or reduce almond milk. Re-whip coconut cream if it separates.
