Frappe Recipe – A delicious iced-coffee beverage prepared with espresso and milk. Our rich and creamy homemade version is super easy to make and it tastes thousand times better!
Frappe is just a sweet iced coffee blended with milk and espresso, and it makes for the perfect, summer favorite coffee house treat. It is a MUST have coffee drink if you’re hanging out at the pool, beach, or even your backyard. 🏖
Currently, I am vacationing in Belek, Turkey, and there’s not a person at the beach without a Frappe in their hands. Not only is it a must if you’re chillin’ on the beach, it is the only coffee that everyone orders at the cafés around here.
But, forget about heading to a café or even Starbucks for your Frappe fix. I am going to show you how I make my own at home and it tastes amazing. 😍
INGREDIENTS FOR A FRAPPE
- Instant Espresso Coffee
- Milk
- Sugar
- Ice
HOW TO MAKE A FRAPPE
- First, you’re going to prepare the espresso and then chill it until completely cooled down.
- Next step is to combine the espresso, milk, sugar and ice in a blender.
- Then, begin to blend on low speed, slowly increasing the speed to high, and blend until smooth
- Pour into glasses and serve right away.
This is a delicious refreshing icy drink totally fit for a hot summer day. For me, it’s like dessert in my coffee cup. ☕ Mostly, though, I am glad that I don’t have to get up and drive to a coffee house to satisfy my Frappe cravings.
My version is also WAY healthier. Lawwwd knows about all the syrups and creams that go into the real thing. 🙈
However, if you want to fatten it up a bit, top your Frappe with whipped cream and chocolate syrup. 😃

This seems like such a silly question. Could you tell me where to find instant espresso coffee, or maybe just a brand name? I’ve looked at my local grocery stores, Walmart and Target and haven’t been able to find it! Am I just looking for the wrong thing? I really want to try this recipe! Thank you!

Hi!! It’s in the coffee section, but it’s in little jars. This is the one that I always buy >>> https://amzn.to/2MgeNn7

thank you for engineering a relatively low calorie coffee drink, at least compared with those sugar bombs at any coffee shop, even the independent ones, enjoy your vacation!

This is such a great recipe and I can’t wait to make it!! I am thinking about adding a little pumpkin to it. Have a great time in Turkey 🙂

Thank you!! It’s an incredible place and the weather is amazing! I also didn’t expect the Mediterranean Sea to be as warm as it is. 🙂

Yummy looking drink. I wish my blender was powerful enough to crush the ice rather than just whirl it around until it all melts. 🙂

That’s true…standard blenders aren’t as powerful. :-/ There’s a high speed blender by Ninja and those run about 50 bucks on Amazon. If you are into smoothies and such, it’s definitely worth getting one.
