Vanilla Cinnamon Frappuccino Recipe with Cinnamon Chips!

I just finished off this amazing frappuccino a little while ago. I bought several different kinds of baking chips and candy bars and stuff to use for coffee experimentation the other day. I found these cinnamon chips (like chocolate chips only cinnamon). I’ve had a vanilla cinnamon frappuccino before, but I thought it would be fun to try it with the cinnamon chips…It turned out incredible!

So, our ingredients: Hershey’s Cinnamon chips (I found them at Walmart), Torani’s Vanilla Syrup, Half and half, coffee/espresso, ice.

First, put about 9 cubes of ice in the blender and 1/4 cup coffee or 1-2 shots of espresso.

Next, add 1/4 cup of cinnamon chips and 1/4 cup of the Vanilla Syrup
.

Last, pour in 1/2 cup of Half and Half (or regular milk if you prefer), and then blend it all up for about 30 seconds or so, until nice and smooth. Then you can drink up and enjoy. The little bits of cinnamon chips are a nice bonus to it too!

Raspberry Malt Iced Coffee Recipe-Summertime Pick me Up!

by Coffeemom

Well, I went to the store tonight to pick up some diapers and milk and I ended up buying some ingredients to experiment with for coffee drinks. One of those ingredients is Ovaltine Classic Malt. Now, I always thought that malt was a form of chocolate until I got home and opened it up, and although it looks like a light colored chocolate, it didn’t really smell like chocolate (I’ve never drank Ovaltine before!). So I looked on the back, and sure enough, no cocoa to be found in the ingredients list.

So, I was planning on making a Raspberry iced mocha tonight so I could post the recipe on here, and then I decided to go ahead and use the Ovaltine and just see how it turned out.

I am very happy with how it turned out! It tastes wonderful! I even got some fresh raspberries from my plants out back and sprinkled some on top of the whipped cream. This is the earliest I’ve ever gotten ripe raspberries since it’s been so warm this spring. I think tomorrow I will make a fresh raspberry mocha frappuccino!

So then as I am sitting here typing this out, I’m thinking, What do I call it? It’s not a mocha….. Well, we’ll just call it a raspberry malt iced coffee 😉

Anyway, so here’s the recipe for you. You could easily substitute the Malt with chocolate, or chocolate malt to make an iced raspberry Mocha.

1/4 cup fresh brewed coffee or 1-2 shots of espresso
2 tablespoons Ovaltine Classic Malt
1/4 cup Raspberry syrup. I use Torani Raspberry Syrup
6 cubes of ice
Milk

Pour the Raspberry syrup and Ovaltine into your cup.
Pour hot coffee/espresso into your cup and stir until everything is desolved.
Add 6 cubes of ice
Fill the rest of the way with milk (quickly so the ice doesn’t melt too much first). I even topped mine off with a little bit of Half and half tonight 🙂
Top with whipped cream and fresh raspberries!

As always, let me know what you think!

White Chocolate Peanut Butter Frappuccino Recipe-Simply Irrisistible….

by Coffeemom

Tonight, (or last night, since it is now 12:30am) I made a very yummy, delicious frappuccino that I think you’ll enjoy!

What is it? you ask…. Peanut Butter White Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino! Now, I don’t usually have white chocolate just lying around, but tonight I did! I had bought a white chocolate baking bar the other night to use for a different recipe, and tonight when I was thinking of a new frappuccino recipe I could post here, I thought…. “Peanut butter? White chocolate? I think YES!”

So I whipped one up and it tasted awesome! You could also use powdered white chocolate, or an actual white chocolate candy bar (which would probably be sweeter than the baking bar).

So here we go……

Here’s the roundup of ingredients: Skippy Creamy Peanut Butter (I love Skippy)
, Half and Half (but you can use lower fat milk if you like), Cold coffee or espresso shots (I keep mine in a container in the fridge), Ghirardelli White Chocolate Baking Bar or candy bar (can also use powdered white chocolate, especially if you don’t like the grittyness when you use the bars), Sugar and ice.

Pour in approximately 9 cubes of ice and 1/4 cup of cold coffee or 1 shot of espresso (don’t use hot coffee since it will melt the ice).

Now break off 2 squares of the white chocolate baking bar (or go crazy and use more!) and about 2 tablespoons of Skippy Peanut Butter.

Now dump in 1-2 tablespoons of sugar……

Next, pour in 3/4 cup of half and half. You can substitute this with lower fat milk, but to me, using regular milk for a frappuccino, even whole milk, just doesn’t taste as good!

Then, blend, blend blend, for at least 30 seconds…..

Pour your frappuccino into your favorite cup, top with some whipped cream and maybe even some white chocolate shavings (I use my cheese grater on the fine grate side) and drink up!

I hope you enjoy this recipe! leave a comment if you try it and let me know what you think!

Snickers Frappuccino Recipe ingredients (amounts are for a 16oz drink)(for regular Caramel Mocha Frappuccino scroll down to the end) :

Then use aprox. 1 tablespoon cocoa (more if needed) (I use Ghirardelli Chocolate Sweet Ground Chocolate)

No need to add any extra sugar

And that’s it! Now you can make your very own, delicious Snickers Frappuccino!

Almond Milk Irish Cream Hazelnut Mocha-Hmmm?

by Coffeemom

So here’s one I just tried and it tastes really good! I’ve been using Almond Milk a lot lately because it is less fat and has lots of vitamins in it, plus it seems to be gentler on my stomach.

With coffee, the Almond Milk gives a nice bit of extra flavor too. This recipe is a bit different, but that’s what this site is about. All different kinds of flavored coffee recipes for you to try and maybe ones that you might not have thought of! I like to think outside the coffee shop when it comes to coffee recipes 😉 . That’s the beauty of it. You can make your flavored coffee any way you like! There’s no right way or wrong way, just what your taste buds tell you 😉 (kind of makes me think of Bob Ross from The Joy of Painting on OPB ” You can do anything you want to do. This is your world.”)

So, recipe time!

Almond Milk, Irish Cream, Hazelnut Mocha Recipe (non-dairy!)

Ingredients:

- 1 cup Almond Milk
- 1/4 cup coffee, or 1-2 shots espresso
- 1/4 cup International Delights Irish Cream Coffee Creamer (non-dairy)
- 1 tbls. Torani Hazelnut Syrup (or other brand)

2 tbls. Nesquik Chocolate Powder(You can find this cheaper at stores usually, but I put the Amazon affiliate link here in case you don’t have a store very close or your store doesn’t carry it for some reason)

How to make:

Since the chocolate does not need hot water to dissolve it, I just throw everything in a cup and mix it up cold usually. If you want it iced, then just add ice! If you want it hot, then either steam the almond milk and Irish Cream creamer together, or microwave, and then add the rest of the ingredients.

Enjoy! Let me know in the comments what you thought or if you have any of your own tips! And, if you enjoyed this recipe, be sure to use the share bar on the left over there to share it with your friends!

Delicious Slim Fast Mocha Recipe

by Coffeemom

So I’ve been on a self inflicted diet the past couple weeks, and I’ve been using Slim Fast in the mornings or the Fred Meyer brand of it since it’s cheaper. But I’ve been into this coffee drinking phase lately.

I rarely used to use my little 4 cup coffee pot, but I bought a bag of coffee beans at Costco awhile ago, and I’ve been working my way through them (my husband doesn’t drink coffee so I get it all to myself). Which is possibly part of the reason I now need to go on a diet since I was making myself a chocolate milk mocha with flavored creamer, or a mocha frappuccino, nearly every day for awhile :0 (They are so good though!)

So I decided to try my chocolate Slim Fast with some coffee in it. It’s good! The nice thing about the slim fast, or whatever meal replacement powder you use, is that it kind of thickens up the nonfat milk so that it doesn’t taste like you’re drinking watered down chocolate milk.

So here’s the recipe…short and sweet 😉

Slim Fast Mocha Recipe

8oz non-fat milk
1 scoop of milk chocolate Slim Fast or other meal replacement powder
1/4 cup coffee

Mix all of that together and enjoy! The Slim Fast is best cold, so I don’t recommend this for a hot drink, but it tastes great cold. You can even just stick the leftover coffee in the fridge to use each morning till it’s gone.
