Welcome to coffee heaven! This Mocha Chip Frappuccino is a delightful homemade version of the beloved Starbucks classic. Inspired by the coffeehouse culture that swept across America in the 1990s, this recipe brings the indulgent experience right to your kitchen.
We use a rich, medium-dark roast coffee for a robust flavor base, complemented by cocoa powder for that irresistible mocha taste. The coffee is brewed strong and chilled to maintain its intensity when blended with ice. Mini chocolate chips add a delightful texture, while a touch of xanthan gum ensures a smooth, creamy consistency that doesn't separate. Top it off with whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup for the full coffeehouse experience!
