Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino
Step 1: Chill the Glasses
Start by adding ¼ cup of whipped cream and 1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup to the bottom of two tall glasses. This will create a delicious base for your Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino. Place the glasses in the fridge while you prepare the rest of the drink, allowing the mixture to chill and set.
Step 2: Blend the Base
In a high-speed blender, combine 1 cup of cold brew coffee, ½ cup of whole milk, ⅓ cup of chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup, most of the chopped Oreo cookies (saving a few for garnish), and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. Blend briefly until everything is mixed well and the chocolate chips are somewhat broken down but still visible.
Step 3: Incorporate the Ice
Next, add 2 cups of ice cubes to your blender and blend again until the mixture is smooth and frothy. The ice is essential for achieving that thick and creamy texture—if you desire a thicker frappuccino, add more ice, blending until your desired consistency is reached.
Step 4: Pour the Frappuccino
Once blended to perfection, carefully pour the creamy mixture into the prepared glasses, gently layering it over the frozen whipped cream and chocolate syrup. You’ll want to create a beautiful visual contrast that entices your guests—and yourself!
Step 5: Garnish Delightfully
To finish your Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino, generously top the drinks with the remaining whipped cream. Drizzle with additional chocolate syrup and sprinkle the reserved crushed Oreo cookies on top. This layer of garnishes adds that extra special touch, making each sip a delightful experience.
Step 6: Serve While Icy
Serve your Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino immediately for the best flavor and texture. The combination of coffee, chocolate, and cookies creates an irresistibly refreshing drink that’s perfect for any warm day or just a treat to brighten up your afternoon.
Make Ahead Options
These Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccinos are perfect for meal prep enthusiasts! You can prepare the blended coffee mixture (cold brew, milk, chocolate chips, chocolate syrup, Oreo cookies, and vanilla extract) up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate it in an airtight container. For best results, blend in the ice just before serving to maintain that frosty texture. The whipped cream and chocolate syrup layered at the bottom of the glasses can also be prepped and refrigerated, keeping them fresh overnight. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply blend in the ice until smooth and pour over the chilled layers for a delightful treat that’s just as delicious as when made fresh!
