Starbucks Frozen Frappuccino

Recipe Rating: 3.0 (9 reviews)
 
It was in 1995 that Starbucks stores started selling this frozen drink, one of the companys most successful new products. The Frappuccino is blended with strong coffee, sugar, a dairy base, and ice. Each one is made to order and each one is guaranteed to give you a throbbing brain freeze if you sip too hard. The drinks come in several different varieties, the most popular of which Ive cloned here for your frontal lobe-pounding, caffeine-buzzing pleasure.

Make double-strength coffee by measuring 2 tablespoons of ground coffee per cup serving in your coffee maker. The clone will be even more authentic if you use Starbucks beans and grind them yourself just before brewing.
3/4 cup double-strength coffee, cold
1 cup low-fat milk

This was so yummy! I had to use decaf as I have bad reactions to caffeine but still adore the taste of coffee. I'm never wasting another penny of my money at Starbucks or any store bought coffee again because this is twice as good.

We have a little expresso machine and used Starbucks Expresso Roast Bold Coffee to make our own expresso instead of "double-strength coffee". I'm tellin' you, it's exactly the same as the $4.00 drink I've been paying for for years. Now I can make my own at a fraction of the cost. Thanks for feeding my addiction.

I just made it and I was sooo disapointed. I think that my coffee mix wasn't right, but I'm not sure. I wish there were specific directions to make the stronger coffee - like what type of coffee (mild/med/brand?). If the coffee isn't right, the whole thing will suck.

Not like the "real thing"? No, it's better. Wonderfully thick and frothy; even better if you blend your own beans using several flavors (chocolate, hazelnut, etc) along with rich espresso beans. I think this recipe is delicious and it always hits the spot.

This is a great recipe, although not as sweet as the real thing. It is an easy and great treat to make for yourself at home.

This is nothing like the real one! What a waste of money. Starbucks puts a cream base in, followed by some flavouring (which is the big mystery) and ice. Then they blend. Au Revoir

The recipe is nothing like the original. I rather pay $3.60 for one at Starbucks.

The mocha version is nothing like the real McCoy.
