Best Mocha Frappe Mousse Recipes
ALMOST-FAMOUS MOCHA FRAPPES
It's hard to believe, but 15 years ago coffee shops didn't offer much in the way of cool summer drinks, aside from iced coffee or tea. It wasn't until 1995 that the Frappuccino was born: At the request of customers, the manager at a Starbucks in Santa Monica, CA, started experimenting with a blender, mixing together espresso, milk and ice. The concoction became so popular that nearby stores started serving it, too, and once Starbucks headquarters got wind of the new hit drink, the company added mocha and coffee Frappuccinos to its menu - plus more than 40 flavors since then. Readers like Taylor Church from Purlear, NC, have been asking us to get the recipe, but Starbucks reps wouldn't hand it over, so Food Network Kitchens blended this perfect copy.

Steps:
- Make the coffee ice: Stir the sugar into the coffee until dissolved, then let cool. Pour into a 16-cube ice-cube tray and freeze until solid, about 3 hours.
- Make the chocolate syrup: Combine the sugar and cocoa powder in a saucepan and slowly whisk in 2/3 cup hot water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking, until the sugar dissolves, 3 to 5 minutes; do not boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate, honey and vanilla until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until cool.
- Make the frappes: Puree 8 coffee ice cubes, 1/2 cup milk, 1/3 to 1/2 cup chocolate syrup and 1 cup plain ice in a blender until smooth. Pour into 2 glasses, then repeat to make 2 more drinks. Top with whipped cream and more chocolate syrup.

SIMPLE MOCHA FRAPPE
I worked as a barista for 2 years and I tend to be very picky when it comes to specialty coffee drinks. Living in an area where there is a coffee stand on every corner I have tasted so many different versions on each drink so I know that though everyone will use the same ingredients for the most part, quantities and quality matter! This is my simple yet satisfying Mocha Frappe. Although I am sure many might think to substitute for the ingredients to suit their tastes/diet or to use what they have on hand, I hope you will reconsider and use store bought chocolate milk if you can because it is thick and creamy which will make a difference. For variations to this recipe you could add a bit of coconut extract or other flavors, or even flavor syrups. And top with whip cream to make it extra delicious! If you don't have the chocolate milk it is ok to substitute with half and half (can be fat free) and some chocolate syrup as I have found that still gives it enough thickness.

- Blend coffee cubes and milk in blender until large chunks are gone.
- Add ice cream and blend til combined and still fairly thick.
- Enjoy!
