3-Ingredient Mocha Frappe

3-Ingredient Mocha Frappe is the refreshing coffee treat you didn’t know you could make so easily at home. With just instant coffee, milk, and chocolate syrup, this icy drink blends into a creamy, café-style mocha—no fancy tools or barista training required! Whether you’re powering through a summer day or need a quick pick-me-up, this frappe is bold, frothy, and ready in under a minute.

Even better, you can customize it! Add a touch of honey for natural sweetness or a splash of peppermint extract to cool things down even more. Toss in a few chocolate chips on top, swirl with whipped cream, or sip it straight—it’s delicious any way you make it.

Fun fact: the frappé was born in Greece in the 1950s, but this simplified version brings the coffeehouse vibe right to your kitchen. No need to wait in line or overspend—just grab three ingredients, blend, and sip your way to mocha bliss.

Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe

• Use Cold Milk for Creaminess: Always start with cold milk to get a smoother, café-style texture without the need for ice cream or extra sugar.
