Ingredients
Frappuccino Base
- 1 cup ice
- ½ cup cold brew coffee
- ½ cup whole milk
- 3 tablespoons toasted marshmallow syrup
- 1 graham cracker
- ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
Whipped Cream & Toppings
- ¼ cup marshmallow whipped cream (or regular whipped cream)
- 2 tablespoons mocha sauce (or chocolate sauce)
- Additional whipped cream and/or graham cracker crumbs (optional for topping)
Instructions
- Blend the Base: In a high-speed blender, combine the ice, cold brew coffee, whole milk, toasted marshmallow syrup, graham cracker, and xanthan gum. Blend until smooth and creamy to create the frappuccino base.
- Prepare the Glass: Use a spoon to press the marshmallow whipped cream into the bottom of a tall glass, creating a creamy base layer. Then drizzle the mocha sauce (or chocolate sauce) over the whipped cream.
- Assemble the Drink: Pour the blended frappuccino mixture into the prepared glass on top of the whipped cream and mocha layers.
- Add Final Toppings: Top with additional whipped cream and sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the top if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade s'mores frappuccino!
Notes
- If you don’t have toasted marshmallow syrup, you can substitute with marshmallow fluff or a mix of marshmallow syrup and a tiny bit of vanilla extract.
- Xanthan gum helps thicken the frappuccino and create a smooth texture; if unavailable, you can omit but the texture may be slightly less creamy.
- For a vegan version, substitute whole milk and whipped cream with plant-based alternatives and ensure syrup and mocha sauce are vegan-friendly.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of toasted marshmallow syrup according to your taste.
- Use fresh cold brew coffee for best flavor and a nicely balanced coffee kick.
