Copycat Starbucks Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccino
This double chocolate chilled frappuccino is so rich and decadent. Just like you get at your local Starbucks without having to run out and buy one, now easily made at home at a fraction of the cost. Enjoy every last sip!
Starbucks drinks are totally delicious. It’s my favorite indulgence every now and again. If possible I would probably go every single day for a different hot or cold Starbucks beverage.
Let’s face it, as much as we love all their wonderful tasting lattes, frappes, and all the other hot and chilled drinks, it’s just too expensive to buy one a regular basis.
That’s when I knew it was time to learn how to make my favorite Starbucks beverages at home.
It did take a long time to figure out how to get the right taste and texture of these wonders.
I decided to start with my favorite one and since chocolate anything is always on the agenda for something sweet, this was this Frappe to start with.
After many taste tests with my family and of course me, I finally came up with the winning recipe.
My husband thought it reminded him of a New York egg cream soda. If you have ever had one of those, they are made with club soda or seltzer, however, this is not. He thought the taste was similar. I’m thinking the chocolate syrup gives it a similar flavor since egg creams are loaded with chocolate syrup. ( Maybe I will work on one of those beverages soon.)
My family all gave this creamy, chocolaty frappe a thumbs up and I did as well.
The chocolate lover in me knew I found a way to enjoy a favorite Starbucks Double Chocolate Chip Frappe right at home It’s pretty darn close to the original and that was just what I was hoping for.
So, please check out my copycat version of the ever popular double chocolate chip frappuccino. On top of being so simple to make with basically one step, the second step is just pouring into the cup and topping off with whipped cream and chocolate sauce, it’s seriously divine. No one I made this for could tell the difference between the original and this one.
Just a note..This particular Frappuccio does not contain coffee. I know what you are thinking, it’s Starbucks, where is the coffee? There are a few Starbucks chilled beverages that do not contain coffee. Surprising but true. That is the reason I make this for my son as well as my grown daughter and hubby. We all can enjoy this frappe together.
You can always take a look one of my another very popular Starbucks Frappes called Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino This one is very similar but it has the coffee. Click the link above for that recipe. Regular or decaf both work, so great morning or night.
If you are a chocolate lover, you are sure to really enjoy this frappe. Try it soon, you will like that’s it’s an easy-peasy recipe and I bet you’ll love it!
Copycat Starbucks Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccino
Yields: 1 large/grande
Ingredients:
- 1 ⅛ cup milk, I used 2 percent, whole, or non dairy all work
- 1½ Tbsp granulated sugar, add another teaspoon or two if you like it very sweet, for sugar free, use half the amount of no calorie sweetener such as Splenda or Stevia
- ⅓ cup mini chocolate chips, save some for the top
- 3 Tbsp chocolate syrup, I used Hershey’s, if you want it sugar free, they make a few sugar free chocolate syrups found at your local market
- 1½ – 2 cups ice, make sure the ice is fresh, this makes a difference
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- optional 1/4 tsp xanthan gum, again, this is optional, a natural thickener. They use it at Starbucks for many drinks. Found at Whole Foods and many markets, also online. You can substitute a teaspoon of vanilla or chocolate instant pudding, dry mix only, these are optional to the recipe as well
- optional, pinch cinnamon
- whipped topping or whipped cream, I used aerosol from the can
- drizzle syrup for top
Directions:
1.Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Start with the 1 ½ cups of ice before adding more.
