ALMOST-FAMOUS MOCHA FRAPPES



Almost-Famous Mocha Frappes image

It's hard to believe, but 15 years ago coffee shops didn't offer much in the way of cool summer drinks, aside from iced coffee or tea. It wasn't until 1995 that the Frappuccino was born: At the request of customers, the manager at a Starbucks in Santa Monica, CA, started experimenting with a blender, mixing together espresso, milk and ice. The concoction became so popular that nearby stores started serving it, too, and once Starbucks headquarters got wind of the new hit drink, the company added mocha and coffee Frappuccinos to its menu - plus more than 40 flavors since then. Readers like Taylor Church from Purlear, NC, have been asking us to get the recipe, but Starbucks reps wouldn't hand it over, so Food Network Kitchens blended this perfect copy.

Nutrition Facts : Nutritional Facts Serves

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful fruits: Overripe bananas with brown spots and juicy, fragrant apricots will give you the best flavor for your frappe.
  • Adjust sweetness to your liking: The natural sweetness of the fruits will vary depending on their ripeness and variety, so taste the frappe before adding honey or maple syrup. You can also adjust the amount of milk or yogurt to balance the sweetness.
  • Use frozen fruits for a thicker frappe: If you prefer a thicker, slushy texture, freeze the banana and apricot pieces before blending.
  • Don't blend for too long: Over-blending can result in a thin and watery frappe. Blend just until the ingredients are smooth and combined, taking care not to create too much foam.
  • Garnish and serve immediately: Apricot slices, banana slices, or a sprinkle of ground cinnamon make for a visually appealing and flavorful garnish. Serve the frappe immediately while it's still cold and refreshing.

Conclusion:

This apricot-banana frappe recipe is a delightful blend of sweet, tangy, and creamy flavors, perfect for a refreshing drink or a healthy breakfast.
