All of my friends rave about these frosty drinks. I pour my leftover coffee in ice cube trays and keep them on hand all the time. You can make fun squiggly designs on insides of glasses with chocolate syrup, before pouring mochas. Top with whipped cream.
I wish there was an option for 6 stars! This is great. Ok here's what i found: 1 1/2 cups coffee = 6 ice cubes. I only made a half recipe so that was 3 ice cubes (frozen coffee cubes), 1 cup milk - and i used 2T chocolate and 2T caramel syrup plus 2T sugar. It was still very sweet so next time I'll omit the sugar and just add a little at a time to taste. It is a little runny for my taste so I added 4 regular ice cubes to help make it more frosty. This recipe is very easy and can easily be adapted to make all the specialty flavors for frozen coffees (peppermint, oreo, etc.) - just watch the sweetness. I also double-brewed my coffee (made it regular then ran the brewed coffee thru the machine again like it was water with the same grounds as the first time) to make it more intese and used decalf (all I had on hand). YUMMY!
Read MoreThese were okay, but nothing special, and too much work, what with the blender, for something that wasn't all that great. Won't make again.

Great recipe! Wendy is absolutely correct to tell us to use ice cubes made of leftover coffee (they don't dilute the flavor the way regular ice would). I give it 4 stars only because I think you should sweeten this (and all iced coffee drinks) with simple syrup instead of sugar. Sugar doesn't dissolve completely and leaves granules. Simple syrup is simply 1 part water and 1 part sugar. Boil together till sugar dissolves, cool. You can store this in your refrigerator for weeks. (I work for a coffee company. ;-)
Very good. Next time, I'll try it with whipped cream on top and putting chocolate syrup on the inside of the glass. The coffee ice cubes was a stroke of genius. EDITED REVIEW: Now that I've adapted a healthier lifestyle and am eating lighter, I cut the milk back a bit and use either two tablespoons french vanilla flavored sugar free creamer or two tablespoons fat free evaporated milk, my homemade sugar free chocolate syrup and if it's not sweet enough, a couple packets Truvia sweetener. It's every bit as good as the full fat version.
Awesome icy treat! Perfect for when you want to have the "coffeehouse experience" right in your own house. I just used cold coffee and crushed iced in my blender as I didn't want to take the time to freeze the cubes. I also used skim milk. This made more than enough for me and my husband to share. It was so good topped off with a whipped cream and little more chocolate syrup!
Like other reviewers said, this really does resemble a mocha frappachino at Starbucks, which happens to be my favorite!! Very good - I have added caramel to mine as well, giving it a slightly different taste. Will now be saving my $5.00 at Starbucks by making my own for pennies! Thanks!
What else can I say but WOW?!?! The consistancy is perfect! I added a half teaspoon of cinnamon to the recipe and poured it into some pretty glasses. My friends and family like it coffee shoppe style with whip cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, a bit of chocolate syrup, and some chocolate sprinkles on top. Thanks for sharing this great recipe!
I LOVE IT!!!! It was so incredibly good. It actually tastes alot like the coffee coolatas from Dunkin Donuts. I made it at work tonight for my boss and coworker, they absolutlely LOVED it. My boss actually came looking for more. My only advice is, if you're going to make this, make sure you make enough!
Ok, I didn't read the recipe all the way through and I neglected to freeze the coffee into cubes (what kind of cook am I? I know, I know) and didn't realize until too late. Oops. So I just blended all the ingredients (my coffee was cold) with a hand blender and poured over crushed ice. Yum. Next time I make these I'll do it the right way but it's fine just the way I did it today. Very very yummy with just the right amount of sweetness. Perfect for when you want your coffee but it's hot and muggy outside.
This was very tasty! It's really sweet, which may be a problem for some but was perfect for me. I used double-strong brewed coffee for my ice cubes. I scaled the recipe to serve half as much, it turned out very well. This tasted something like a Starbucks Mocha Frappucino--I'd definitely make it again!
Great recipe - I always had powdered chocolate milk mix, not syrup, and it's still awesome. Can't wait to try it the right way! Yum!
These were okay, but nothing special, and too much work, what with the blender, for something that wasn't all that great. Won't make again.
This recipe was pretty good! It was a bit too sweet for me, so i didn't put in the chocolate syrup. But it was still a good refreshment.
WOW! I used instant coffee and skim milk and this was still delicious. I'll be saving the $3 a cup I normally pay at my favorite bookstore. Wendy, thank you so much for sharing this recipe!
This is awesome! I bet the caffeine content is lower than what you would normally get. Another option is not blending the ice at all - adding it last. I've had a lot of fun with this & my guests love it!
Loved it! Tastes delicious... great way to get caffeine in the mornings, and so much cheaper than buying a Mocha Freeze at a coffee shop somewhere.
easy and good. Also a great way to use leftover coffee from the morning. This is a great drink on hot summer nights.
I've started freezing my leftover coffee so that I'll have a few cubes on hand so I can make these. I make some simple syrup as suggested by another reviewer. The whipped cream on top really adds something. Not quite as good as a drink from Starbucks but a pretty good home version!
This was good, but not GREAT. Very sweet.. I made mine with Decaf coffee.. so that might have been the problem. But I am pregnant (decaf is the only way to go for me right now!) I might try it again later with regular coffee.. but wouldn't make it again with decaf!
mmmmmmmmmmmm! yummy! I had filled the ice cube tray plenty full and still had some left so I just put an ice cube in and drank it and it was great! Will make again.
This is was good. I tried this again and made a batch of coffee and cooled it. I poured the coffee over the coffee ice cubes in a glass and added a little milk and vanilla syrup...this was better!
Loved it! This is just like a mocha frappucino from Starbucks- and a lot cheaper! I used a whole ice cube tray of frozen coffee, 1 1/2 cups skim milk and 1/4 cup half and half, 3 tablespoons sugar and 1/4 cup chocolate sauce. It was pretty sweet, next time I'll use less sugar.
These were amazing! What a Great idea freezing leftover coffee so you can make them anytime! It saved a ton of money this summer making these instead of buying them!
Loved these!! I went with only 1 cup of milk and will make my coffee stronger next time.
VERY GOOD! i used caremel syrup intead and it tastes just like tim hortans ice caps!! deffinatly a "make again"
Followed the directions to a tee. Not enough flavor for us. Liked the idea of coffee ice cubes. Won't make again.
This was great! I added chocolate chips to make is like the Java Chip Frap, and I was very impressed.
I love this, but to sweet for me.I use 6 coffee ice cubes, 1 cup fat free milk,1 cup cold coffee & 1/4 cup chocolate syrup with splenda.Less fat.Delis!!
Yummy but too sweet for me, not enough coffee flavor, and rather thin. The second time I made it, I adapted it and used an entire tray (12 cubes) of coffee ice cubes and used only 1/8 cup (or 2 TBSP) of sugar instead of the full amount on the recipe. It turned out much better for my taste! I will keep this adaptation and look forward to possibly adding caramel or cinnamon next time.
I've had this recipe saved for a while, and finally got the chance to make it! It was delicious! I used 4 cubes of frozen coffee, 1 cup of milk, 2T of caramel and 2T of chocolate syrup. I did not use regular sugar at all. I have a Magic Bullet blender, and I used 1 mug, and this made just enough to fill up the mug! It was very good!
This was delicious! It tasted quite similar to a Starbuck's frappuccino. I added a pinch of salt because it gives it even more flavor. I will be sharing this recipe with family and friends. Thank you for posting it.
I make these all the time, only I use half flavored creamer, half milk. I add a whole tray of frozen coffee ice cubes. Yummy! thank you!
Very refreshing and a great way to use up extra coffee. It makes a pretty iced coffee drink that I could serve to company. I prefer it served with the whipped cream and drizzled with chocolate syrup.
This was the perfect late afternoon pick-me-up treat for my husband and I yesterday on an incredibly hot day! I did think that it could have used a bit more coffee taste, though, so will use more of the ice cubes next time. Thanks for a great recipe, Wendycain!
Excellent! I didn't have time to make the coffee ice cubes, so I put about 8 small ice cubes in the blender. I also used 1 cup fat-free half & half & 1 cup 1% milk, then blended all together with the syrup, & some International Delight White Chocolate Macadamia I had in the fridge. I brought the whole blender container to work with me & my co-workers can't stop drinking it! This will be a staple here at my office:)
This recipe seems very familiar to another one I made on here, but I decided to give it a try. I followed the recipe but I used lite chocolate syrup and 2 packets of Truvia in place of the 1/4 cup of sugar. It turned out really tasty. I topped with whipped cream, as suggested, and added a little chocolate sprinkles. The only downside is the frothy aspect of it melts after about 30 minutes, and it turns to an ice cold coffee, but it is still good.
I have been making these for years, I love them! This recipe is the same as I use, except I never actually messured mine. The only reason I gave this a 4 star is because the only thing that could make this better is instead of adding all the milk, add just a little and put in a couple scoops of your favorite coffee flavored icecream, then blend. It's Great.
I left out the sugar, and didn't have a full 1/4 cup of chocolate, but other than that I followed the recipe exactly... very good! Now I can save myself some $$$ at the coffee house!
This was pretty good, but I've decided it's easier to buy a canister of the powdered frap mix from Costco. Sorry! I need the simplicity when it comes to getting my coffee.
Taste is probably more like 3 stars but the fact that I can save 5 bucks by making a cold coffee drink at home bumps it up to a 4. A little too much sugar as stated. Definitely worth making when you are craving a coffee drink and don't want to drive somewhere and spend the $$.
This recipe is great! I used a natural low calorie sweetener instead of sugar, and just sweetened to taste. Awesome, and I don't have to trudge to Starbucks and fork over $5!
YUMMY! I love coffee! My friends and I go gaga over this recipe. Thank you so much.
Been working in the garden & this was such a refreshing treat! I halved the recipe (except for the chocolate...I absentmindedly added the full amount) only it was runny so I had 4 more coffee ice cubes. I did not doublebrew my coffee as Bonnie suggested but I think next time I might. I guess because I had so much extra coffee flavor, the chocolate wasn't too much. I did not use simple syrup as suggested by some reviewrs because I didn't figure I would need as much sugar as called for & I was right... I didn't add more than a tsp or two. I did top w/ fresh whipped cream. Still not quite as good as Starbuck's but close & they don't serve it in a pretty soda glass either. ;o)
Yummy! Tasted very much like a favorite coffee-house drink of mine. Will definitely make again!!
Tastes absolutely amazing! It's just that the ice cubes take quite a while to break up.
yummy! This really was close to a mocha frap from Starbucks, except MUCH less expensive. I would like to see what my friends have to say about this one...
Very good. We enjoyed this drink at home instead of driving half an hour to get to Starbucks.
Loved this drink. I did however only use 1 cup of milk, as many reviews suggested, and the consistensy was perfect. We actually like them BETTER than the Tim Horton's Iced Cap. Thanks
I have tried MANY different Iced Mocha/Frappuccino/Frappe recipes over the past couple of years, and I've come back to this one. This recipe is the best and easiest one I have found!! DELICIOUS!!
I absolutely love this. I did not add any sugar. Instead I added a bit more chocolate syrup and it was perfect. I have tried a few cold coffee drinks from this site and so far this is my favorite. I am a non hot coffee drinker (because I don't care for it) but I am hooked on these cold coffee drinks! Excellent recipe.
Great but I added a few more coffee cubes and a little less milk so it was less runny.
I've used a similar recipe for several years. I discovered that it's better to use chocolate ice cream or a powdered chocolate drink mix. Chocolate syrup tends to give the coffee a bitter taste.
This sounds YUMMY. I can't wait for warm weather to try it. I'll probably be making it for brunch this summer with friends.
This is a great recipe. I add Kahlua to the drink and it adds a wonderful finish.
This is awesome... I drink one every morning. I don't make it a slushy, just put ice in. I put half the sugar and chocolate syrup.
Yum! Used really strong coffee, but other than that made per directions and turned out perfect and frosty! Hubby loved!
These are so easy and so delicious. You can make these in less than 5 minutes and taste just as good as anything you can buy in a coffee shop. Highly recommended.
Awesome! Cool summer pick me up. I left out the sugar and its still sooo good.
A perfect combination. I thought about leaving out the sugar but after I tasted it, I realized it DOES need the sugar.Thanks for the recipe!
This was AMAZING!!!!! I made my own version to this though. I froze the coffee in the ice cube trays but when i out them in the blender I used Cinnabon creamer and a dollop of choco syrup. I left out the sugar all together, it doesnt need anymore sweetness. I fell inlove with this drink at first taste...its now apart of my morning routine with my son. he likes pressing the blender buttons so we make mommys coffee than make him some chocolate milk so he feels included. Can't say enough how much I LOVE this drink!!
This is the mocha recipe I have been looking for! I had some leftover espresso from Starbucks (from another recipe) so I froze it in an ice cube tray. I used 4 cubes and then followed the recipe exactly as stated. Absolutely amazing topped with whipped cream and chocolate. Thanks for the recipe!
Yummy!! I have made this recipe several times, first time without freezing the coffee into cubes and although it was good, it wasn't the 'WOW this is really good!'. So the next time I froze the coffee into cubes and oh my goodness this was sooo good! Highly recommend taking the time to do this step as it makes a huge difference. I have made this many times now as I freeze all leftover coffee and keep a ziplock freezer bag of cubes in my freezer just for this recipe. I have added caramel, chocolate and Rolo syrup and it is amazing!
Wonderful! After reading the reviews, I decided not to follow the milk and sugar amounts exactly. I figured everybody likes different amount of sugar and milk in hot coffee, so why would it be different in iced coffee? I did end up using less milk and sugar than the recipe called for. It was so creamy and yummy. I topped with freshly whipped cream and extra chocolate syrup. So good! Thanks!
This is great and easy. I make the coffee ice cubes double strength. I substituted 1/2 c milk with 1/2 either hazelnut coffee cream and reduced the chocolate syrup to 2 Tbls. I didn't use any sugar as the flavored creamer is sweetened. Ran through blender and partially froze (about 10 minutes). Served with whipped cream and drizzled caramel and chocolate syrup on top.
Thank you so much for this recipe and all the helpful tips from fellow reviewers! Based on some of the reviews, I used 6 coffee cubes, 4 ice cubes, 1 cup vanilla Soy Dream, 1/4 cup Hershey's Chocolate Syrup and 1/4 cup Smucker's Caramel Sundae Syrup. Serious yumminess!! Woohoo! And pennies saved! Thank you again! :) I shall see how it tastes next time with 3 tbsp chocolate syrup and 3 tbsp caramel syrup.
I Like the Iced Cubes idea out of the coffee that way it is not too watered down. Thank You for the recipe
Great!! I took someone's advice and used about four "ice" cubes and a cup of milk to make one fairly full glass of this (enough room to add whip cream which I think really sets this off). It was amazing. Lots of money will be saved now. Great thing about this recipe is that it seems like it can be played around with a bit; using different flavors of coffee, with different syrups. I think adding a mint syrup in addition to the chocolate will make this a great holiday drink!
Thank you for a great recipe! I omit the sugar and just add lite chocolate syrup. Now, if I could find a way to make them at work...
WOW, THANKS FOR SAVING ME $ AT STARBUCKS!I FOLLOWED THE RECIPE EXACTLY AND IT TASTED GREAT, NEXT TIME I'LL JUST ADD THE WHIPPED CREAM AND CARAMEL SAUCE.
We went through a faze of making too much coffee, so stumbling upon this recipe seemed like a great coffee saver. IMO, it's not worth the trouble. The coffee ice cubes always ended up getting stuck in the trays, and we couldn't come up with a method of getting them out. So, for a while we would use any salvaged cubes in plain old iced coffee. A nice way to have cold coffee without watering it down.
Oh yeah baby! I never buy iced mochas out anymore. My homemade ones beats them all!
These were sooooo good. I followed the recipe exactly except that I made one batch chocolate and the other batch caramel. Topped with whipped cream and drizzled with syrup, these made a great snack. Even better than the coffee shop's!
Don't let the short list of ingredients fool you. I didn't add the sugar or the whipped cream because I figured it would be sweet enough for me with just the chocolate syrup and it was. This was so good! The taste reminded me a lot of Wendy's Frosty. The only thing different I'm going to do next time is use expresso rather than regular coffee just because I like to be able to taste the coffee a little more.
I modified this a bit, and it still turned out to be an amazing coffee treat! I made this with 1/8 cup sugar free chocolate syrup. I also used 1/4 cup equal instead of sugar. I used 6-7 cubes of frozen coffee and 1 cup of milk. I might try to use skim milk next time. This would cut the calories down to about 140 a serving. YUMMY!
Really love this reipe! although I enjoyed it more when I added 2tsp. of hot chocolate powder and 2 or 4 scoops of ice cream.
My sister-in-law made this for us one day and it was wonderful. She substituted caramel syrup for the chocolate syrup and only used one cup of milk. It makes it really thick like at a coffee shop.
Fantastic treat. I used 3/4 cup frozen coffee, 1 cup skim milk, 2 T chocolate syrup and 2 packets of Splenda sweetener. Yummy, I know this would have cost $5 at the coffee shop.. and I know what's in this one!
This drink is pretty good. I like the recipe most because of the frozen coffee cubes. Great way to save and use up leftover coffee. I found it a bit sweet, so next time I may reduce the sugar or chocolate syrup. THX
This was excellent!! Although I don't think I followed much of the recipe when it came to measurements. I was unable to check back online when I made this and I couldn't remember the amounts so I just kind of guessed. I put 12 coffee ice cubes, a little over 1/4 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup chocolate sauce, and 3/4 cup of milk into the blender. And instead of putting whipped cream ontop I topped it off with ice cream. Not the healthiest of drinks but it sure was good!
My husband was expecting Iced Coffee instead. I told him 'No, it has chocolate syrup in it, too', because I don't like plain iced coffee. Mochas it is for me. He loves it. I love it. He says it's better than Starbucks. I've never had Starbucks iced mochas, so I can't compare. He is a coffee fanatic. We've made it a few times since, and it does NOT need tweaking. Edit: Instead of making ice cubes and blending it all, I just throw everything into a half-gallon jug (after doubling the recipe) and stir. Add ice - optional.
WOW! Five stars does not begin to descripe this recipe. We LOVED it!!! we didn't have any chocolate syrup, so we used the chocolate milk powder we had just lying around. It was almost as good as going out to Starbucks but for way less money. Thank-you for sharing this recipe
Try using hot fudge sauce instead of the chocolate syrup- tastes like a McDonalds frappe.
The one word I will have to say is YUMMMMMM! These are so tasty! There is nothing wrong with them and they taste exactly like the coffe colatas at Dunkin Donuts! They were also really easy to make.
YUM! these are delicious! Just as good as Starbucks! I did not add the sugar and it was sweet enough for me!
Way good, I didn't make any coffee ice cubes and poured the still semi hot coffee over regular ice cubes (the way I make iced tea). Still turned out great! Saves me 4 bucks at Caribou!
I won't pay for overpriced coffee, so I've never had Starbuck's. Even tho I've nothing to compare this fabulous drink to, I thought it was amazing. Took others advice and cut back on the milk. I actually made this without any sugar at all and it was still delicious. Thanks so much Wendy!
Very good. I used more frozen coffee that asked for and it turned out great. Otherwise, it would have been too sweet.
No ice cube trays on hand? I'm an iced Mocha Lover. Here is my EASY ICED MOCHA recipe in case you want it now & don't have ice cube trays anymore: Simply take some of your leftover COOL coffee (twice-or thrice brewed if you like that Starbucks taste) put into a tall glass, add Hershey syrup and some half & half to taste, adjust to what you need more of, then add your ice. I like a lot of ice in my coffee and strong, so be aware, it will dilute over time. I'd add more cubes of leftover coffee if you like this recipe strong. Add a few drops of vanilla if desired. The leftover coffee frozen in trays in this recipe is a wonderful idea for those hot summer days and a great way not to waste coffee as costly as it is these days. Start the freezing now, Iced Mocha lovers. The taste is great and a lot cheaper than buying an iced mocha from Starbucks. Save your $5.00. Good luck!
This is great!!! My husband loves Iced Mochas and is very critical of types other than Starbucks. He rolled his eyes when I made this for him but now having chocolate syrup and coffee ice cubes are a must in our house. Instead of buying chocolate syrup though we buy a java syrup at the store. This really tops it off for us. ENJOY!!!
