The word "frappe," pronounced “frap-pay,” literally means "iced" in French. While the term once referred to any frozen beverage, today, "frappe" typically refers to a frozen coffee blended with cream and sweet flavors. When you order them from Starbucks, they're known as frappuccinos.

That said, not all frappes and frappuccinos have coffee. For instance, this double chocolate chip frappe is made without any coffee, just like Starbucks! So, if you love chocolatey coffee shop drinks but not the excess sugar and carbs, you must try this lightened-up double chocolate chip frappe!

Why You'll Love This Recipe

• It's SO easy. You'll make a coffeehouse copycat with only 5 ingredients in 1 minute.
• Making specialty drinks at home is less expensive than daily trips to the coffee house.
• It has fewer calories, sugar, and fat than traditional frappuccino recipes.
• Healthier than McDonald's and Starbucks frappes.
• This is the ultimate indulgence for chocolate lovers!

Ingredients You’ll Need

• Milk: The default milk in frappes is whole milk, but feel free to use a non-dairy alternative. I like using unsweetened almond milk. Cashew, soy, oat, and coconut milk are also good options. If dairy isn't a concern, 2% skim and non-fat milk also works. Honestly, anything goes.
• Sweetener: I like using monk fruit sweetener. It has no carbs, zero calories, sodium, or fat. Allulose, erythritol, and Stevia are also good sugar-free sweeteners.
• Chocolate Chips: You can use any chocolate chip here. Regular chocolate baking chips, dark chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, or your favorite keto no sugar added chocolate chips.
• Chocolate Syrup: You can use Hershey's sugar-free chocolate syrup or Walmart's Great Value brand sugar-free chocolate-flavored syrup. If sugar isn't a concern, use any chocolate syrup. You can also use chocolate sauce.
• Vanilla Extract: The better the quality, the better the flavor! Vanilla lends that irresistibly sweet and creamy flavor.
• Ice: This wouldn't be a frappe without ice!

Step-By-Step Instructions

Step 1: Blend.

Add milk, sweetener, chocolate chips, chocolate syrup, vanilla, and ice to a high-speed blender and blend for one full minute.

Step 2: Serve.

Pour into a tall glass and serve! Whipped cream is optional but recommended!

Expert Tips

• A powerful high-speed blender is critical to crushing the ice and blending the mixture into a smooth, frozen drink.
• The best way to achieve a creamy, smoothie-like texture is by adding xanthan gum. You'll only need a pinch per serving. You can also use a dry pudding mix.
• If possible, use mini chocolate chips. Once blended into the drink, they'll taste like Starbucks java chips. Sprinkle more on top of the frappe before serving.
• A frappuccino isn't complete without whipped cream. So top your healthy chocolate chip frappe with your favorite sugar-free whipped cream or dairy-free whipped cream.

Variations

Let's talk about personalizing. Any of these customization options will elevate your homemade frappuccino to new heights.

• Dessert syrup - You aren't limited to chocolate syrup. Feel free to use strawberry, butterscotch, white chocolate, or caramel syrup instead (or get creative with a blend of sweet syrups and sauces).
• Make it a milkshake - Swap half of the ice for a scoop of vanilla ice cream or chocolate peanut butter nice cream.
• Add protein - Add a scoop of vanilla or chocolate protein powder to the blender.

Storing & Freezing

Storing: This recipe yields 1 drink. If you have extra, you can keep it in the fridge for 1-2 days. If it separates, reblend it with fresh ice until it's smooth before serving.

Freezing: If you decide to make more than 1 serving, you can always freeze what's left. This frappe will keep in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month. Before serving, let thaw at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. If it separates, reblend it for a few seconds.
