Let’s start mixing!
WHAT IS A FRAPPUCCINO?
A Frappuccino is a blended coffee or non-coffee (“cream-based”) drink that is icy and thick. The main ingredients are milk, ice cream, sweetener and to top it off there is whipped cream! Starbucks has many types of coffee and cream Frappuccinos on their menu and they are always a hit! You can get chocolate, caramel, vanilla, chai, espresso and coffee-based Frappuccinos and even strawberry! Seasonally, there’s Frappuccino and Peppermint with Pumpkin Spice! To be honest, I actually only ate the chocolate based varieties because chocolate is my favorite,
but I did try the Pumpkin Spice and Caramel Ribbon Crunch to get a taste of the
recipes here on the blog! I’m thinking of making the Vanilla Bean Frappuccino next. Comment below if you’re interested in seeing it!
Now the Mocha Cookie Crumble is actually my favorite Frappuccino mixer at Starbucks,
and has been since I came to Canada in 2013 or 2014 and had my first Frappuccino. It turns out that the Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino used to be
just a seasonal drink for the summer, but due to demand, it’s available year-round.
IS THERE CAFFEINE IN MOCHA COOKIE CRUMBLE FRAPPUCCINO?
Yes, this Frappuccino recipe contains caffeine. When ordering Mocha Cookie Crumble in the Starbucks app,
you’ll notice that the recipe defaults to “3 Frappuccino® Roast Pump(s)” for a large drink
(16 fluid ounces). It contains 95 mg of caffeine. If desired, you can add espresso shots and increase the number of
“Frappuccino Roast” pumps in your drink to get more or less caffeine.
At Starbucks, the decaffeinated version of this drink is known as
“Chocolate Cookie Crumble Creme Frappuccino”, the same drink without added coffee.
If you want to make the “Crème Frappuccino” recipe at home, just don’t add espresso or brewed coffee
to the drink!

FOR THE MOCHA COOKIE CRUMBLE FRAPPUCCINO
• Ice Cubes:
You need ice for this drink! The amount is important because you don’t want it to be too runny
like a smoothie and you want just the right amount of pieces. But you also don’t want it to be too thick, like a slushie. Crushed ice or ice cubes are both good.
• Milk:
According to the standard recipe and my personal preference, I use whole cow’s milk. Use skimmed milk if needed.
• Whipped Cream:
Based on the early versions of the Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino, I use my homemade chocolate whipped cream! Although I’ve never seen it myself, I did a quick google search and it looks like Hershey’s
sells chocolate whipped cream in a spray can if you don’t want to make it yourself, although I recommend homemade!
• Oreo Cookies:
Use regular Oreos to mimic the type of cookie sprinkles Starbucks uses. You can also use gluten-free Oreos if you are making these for someone with a gluten intolerance.
• Chocolate chips:
In the recipe you see that 3 scoops of “java chips” are added to the drink. I’m not sure what these are exactly, but they look like chocolate chips, so let’s get to it! These are put in the mixer.
• Chocolate Syrup:
I based this chocolate sauce on my Café Mocha Chocolate Syrup recipe, without the addition of instant coffee. It’s super easy to prepare! You put your chocolate syrup in the mixer,
in the bottom of the cup and in the top of the cup.
• Coffee:
For a stronger taste, you can brew your favorite coffee with a French press. Otherwise, a normal coffee machine works perfectly. If you have an espresso machine, be sure to take it!
• Sweeteners:
When you order Frappuccino online, you will notice that the drink is not actually sweetened with syrup. However, I found out in the Reddit thread that the first version of the drink was discussed
where vanilla syrup was added to the drink. At the time of writing, there is no syrup to sweeten the drink. I first tried the drink without added sweetener, but I noticed that it needs a little. Following the original recipe, I prepared my vanilla instant syrup for the coffee. You can buy one if you want, or if you don’t want to use vanilla syrup, don’t worry! Table sugar is ideal for the drink, but you can also choose brown sugar, honey,
cane sugar, agave syrup or maple syrup as a natural sweetener. For sugar-free options, you can also use Splenda or Stevia.
