Re: Mc Donald's Mocha Frappes

Found this on Allrecipes.com. The lady said it was exactly like McDonalds recipe.

1/4 cup instant coffee granules
1 cup sugar
1 cup nonfat dry milk powder
1 cup powdered non-dairy creamer
1/3 cup baking cocoa
1/4 teaspoon salt
ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups crushed ice
1/2 cup milk
whipped topping
Directions
1.With a rolling pin, crush coffee granules into a fine powder between sheets of waxed paper. Place in an airtight container. Add the sugar, milk powder, creamer, cocoa and salt; mix well. Store in a cool dry place for up to 1 year.
2.To prepare cooler: In a blender, combine the ice, milk and 1/2 cup of mocha mix; cover and process on high until smooth. Pour into glasses. Top with whipped topping if desired.

By the way, I have never had a frappe. Are they all iced?

How much coffee?

Re: Mc Donald's Mocha Frappes

Deb, I've tried both the mocha and the caramel flavor -- and they don't have a lot of coffee in them. If you listen to their commercials, they say something like, "with a hint of coffee flavor." I would like more of a coffee drink. I think you could use the mix recipe above and instead of 1/2 cup milk, mix with 1/2 cup cold coffee. I went online to McD's website and looked at the nutritional info for the frappes. They definitely fall into the category of "occasional treat" for me -- very high calorie. I think if I'm going to blow 500 calories on a single item, it's going to be a piece of cheesecake.

I would sub Splenda for the sugar...might change the texture...I dunno.

Re: Mc Donald's Mocha Frappes

the frappes are great-I like mocha the best --yes they are icey but I think I will try sweet and low just at the end of making the drink-- one package at a time-- thanks for the recipe

Re: Mc Donald's Mocha Frappes

I like the idea of making it lower calorie. The Splenda and maybe fat free milk? Any other ideas?
