My teenagers are OBSESSED with Java Chip Frappuccinos from Starbucks. But we don’t have a Starbucks on every corner here in Morocco so those frappuccinos are a real treat. Recently I saw a recipe on how to make whipped coffees at home. I think we all did as the trend swept lockdown 2020.
The first time I had a frappe (whipped coffee) was in Greece and I had no idea how easy they were to make. They’re also referred to as chocolate dalgona coffee and the prominence online started thanks to South Korean social media!
I decided to take it a step further and make it a Moroccan drink by using mint. Usually, we reserve our mint for tea but it seemed fitting that it would work well with chocolate and coffee.
You’ll need a few more ingredients to make my version but it is worth it. The recipe below is for 2 servings because it’s always better to share with friends. You can adjust the sugar too. Some people prefer this more sweet while others omit the sugar completely.
I add ice cubes because I love iced coffee but of course, that’s up to you too. Make it your own! While normally we have mint tea with breakfast in Morocco, this would be a fun drink for your Moroccan breakfast in summer.
If you’re looking for a DIY mint syrup recipe – I’ve got that covered for you too.
Ingredients for Chocolate Mint Coffee
This is very easy to make but it is helpful to have all of your ingredients prepped and ready to go before you start. Having these items pre-measured will also make a big difference.
You’ll want a glass that is large enough to hold everything and then have about double the amount of space for the foam, an 8oz tall glass would work well.
This recipe uses instant coffee not brewed coffee so you will want to have that on hand. My favorite brand of instant coffee is classic Nescafe but feel free to use whichever brand you’d like.
How to Make Whipped Ice Coffee
To make whipped ice coffee there are two main steps, creating the froth and adding the liquid. The frothy part is made by whisking together instant coffee, water and sugar.
You will also need a hand frother. This handheld frother whisk in an inexpensive option if you want to try out this recipe. If you regularly make drinks that use frothed milk (like lattes or cappuccinos) you may want to invest in this stand-alone electric milk warmer and frother.
Once it’s mixed cold milk (plant or animal-based) is added to the base of the cup and the froth tops it.
