Welcome to your new favorite at-home coffee treat! This Homemade Starbucks Java Chip Frappuccino brings the beloved coffeehouse experience right to your kitchen. Inspired by the iconic Starbucks beverage, this recipe combines rich, bold coffee with indulgent chocolate chips and a creamy base, all blended to frosty perfection.
We use a dark roast coffee, freshly brewed and chilled, to capture that signature Starbucks flavor. The coffee is then blended with milk, chocolate chips, and a homemade mocha syrup for an extra chocolatey kick. A key to achieving that authentic Frappuccino texture is using xanthan gum, which helps emulsify the ingredients and prevent separation. Top it off with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate chips for the full coffeehouse experience.
