Copycat Mocha Frappe Recipe
If you are looking for a yummy, ice-cold summer drink, this ✅ Homemade Mocha Frappe Recipe is just the ticket.
Instead of paying $2–$3 for a small mocha frappe from McDonald’s, you can whip up your own at home for a fraction of the price!
How to Make a Mocha Frappe
There is a secret ingredient to making the perfect copycat ✅ McDonald’s Mocha Frappe: Frozen Coffee!
The frozen coffee helps get the creamy texture that will not get watered down as the temperature of the drink rises.
In theory, you could use just ice cubes and coffee, but who likes watered-down coffee? By freezing the coffee, you get the same taste as adding milk directly to your hot coffee in the morning, but in an ice-cold, frosty version.
If you are not a chocolate fan, or just want to change things up, you can make the same iced drink but with a different flavor.
Just substitute the chocolate syrup with caramel sauce or any other flavor that you desire.

Now this recipe makes more sense and works out way better than my past experiments. I’ve always just made my coffee cold by placing it into the fridge for an hour or so and just adding ice cubes into the blender with the cold coffee. It always seemed watered down. By freezing the coffee into ice cubes it does something magical and turns the frappes out better than ever. Soooo soooo good!! A win in my book!!
This is sooooo good
I also had tried cold coffee & ice cubes. The drink was watered down. This recipe tastes exactly like Mc. Frappe. The only criticism I would make is the twxture. It was just not icy enough .I like those lil icy bits. I will try blending it longer next time
Isn’t a moca frappe supposed to have hot Cocoa mix also?
I am so freekin in love with McDonald’s Mocha frappe. I buy one almost every day 3 times when I can afford too. I just wanna ask them if I can buy the whole bag and I’ll do it at home I myself🤣
Great way to start the mornings!
This taste pretty good and love the frozen coffee Idea. Doesn’t taste quite like McDonalds but pretty close.
Just made this. With the milk I did half white and half chocolate and it’s so close to McDonald’s frappe! Love love!
i’m addicted to these things sooo good!!!!!
Hi. I tried this once and loved the flavor but wanted a different texture. I just made it again, but this time I put the milk in the freezer for 1-1/2 hr., and this was the trick. It tasted just like a frappe from McDonalds. It had little ice chips all the way through! Delicious. Thanks for the recipe. My son now requests one every day.
What kind of coffee should I use?
Whatever your favorite kind is would be fine to use! We just use whatever we have at the time!
