Chocolate Ice Frappe and Cold Coffee
Sweet and Delightful Iced Drinks Served at Home in an Instant!
When it comes to choosing what flavor do you want to mix with frappes, Chocolate is always present from the menu! its the most best selling, addicting and most of all, it is always available in every local grocery stores. Based from your own preference, you can pick whether you want it to be cold or you like it to be hot. But focusing on the most important part, personal preference of taste or our own taste preferences vary depending on the degree of flavor what we like. These personal preferences, made us to become "choosy" or detectives, investigating whether that coffee shop or cafe's provide the flavor what we like. Then if that so, good news! Nowadays you can do just anything with just a few clicks on the internet and simply walking at a nearby grocery or convenient stores, for sure they offer variety of ready made food products and it is easy to make one. Just like we did with this sweet chocolate iced frappe and coffee.
Who could someone not resist the aroma and taste of coffee, and the sweet taste of chocolate drinks --- may it be hot, frappe, or iced. In Metro manila (Philippines), Coffee shops are now the trend to have a chitchat, barkada reunions, a place to review or study, or to have a work meeting, etc for young and adults.
With these “drink trends” I thought that I can share with you one of my trip on how to enjoy coffee shop drinks at home that can be shared to everyone.
Before we start, what I did was an iced chocolate and coffee drink since some of us do not want the texture of shaved ice.
What you need:
 |   |
- For iced coffee drink – you can use 3-in-1 coffee mix or manually blend the flavor you want in your coffee. For me, I think brewed coffee will be the best choice! But since it’s not available I chose to use what is available in the fridge because it tend to taste creamier and have stronger flavor than the instant 3-in-1 – Nestle Coffee Mate, Maxwell House Black Coffee (they taste better than with a mix of nestle black coffee and nestle coffee mate hehe).
- For Iced Chocolate drink – I used Goya Everyday chocolate mix drink and the Swiss Miss dark chocolate flavor.
- Sugar to taste
- Hot and cold water
- Ice
- Whip Cream (I like the taste and the creaminess of this Hopla whip cream although it’s consistency as a whip cream tends to melt in seconds.
- Chocolate syrup and chocolate/coffee sprinkles (Optional)
- Put the coffee or chocolate mixture in a cup.
- Pour ¼ cup of hot water in the mixture just to dissolve it. Stir well.
- Pour a cold water. Stir. (Remember not to fill up the whole cup because we’ll be putting ice and whip cream.)
- What I did next is: I put the coffee mix in a water bottle together with some ice then shake it (like what I am seeing when I buy Milk teas). You may also skip this step and just put the ice on the cup.
- Last is, put a whip cream on the top of your favorite drink for a creamier and for a coffee shop
- Putting some chocolate or coffee sprinkles and chocolate syrup is optional.
Aaaand, you’re done! J

Tip: you can also add up chocolate syrup below and on the side of the cup for an artsy look and chocolatier taste (Of course, better with a transparent cup or glass).
With this recipe, you can now enjoy your favorite drink not going on a café. Especially when raining, too hot outside or just too crowded and noisy going in a café. You can have your own version of Frappe too, anytime of the day.
That’s it! You can now sit and relax and enjoy your iced drink while watching movie, while reviewing in your room, or while having some snack time with the whole family.
