OMG! This is just awesome! WOW! I made it with vanilla bean ice cream as a substitute for the milk & sugar. (It's 98 humid degrees here and I needed some ice cream in my system...) I must say that this is quite possible the very best frappachino I have ever tasted! Thank you for posting this, RaCa! YUM!

    This was one of the recipes used for the nonalcoholic "bar" at our corporate summer picnic this year! It was very popular, and got rave reviews. We used 1/2 the sugar and 1/2 the chocolate syrup the recipe calls for and it seemed perfect. I have also made this with Splenda and low sugar chocolate syrup and it comes out great. We top it with toasted coconut when I make them at home and boy is that yummy! I am going to try the ice cream (or ice milk) as suggested next time! Thanks for a great summer drink!

    this was pretty good, but I agree, it wasn't quite like Starbucks! however, I made the diet version of this using splenda and sugar free chocolate syrup. I think super strong coffee and EXTRA chocolate is the way to go next time. maybe even add fat free whipped cream? all in all this was one of the better recipes for frozen coffee drinks I've tried. thanks!

    This was good, and I liked it, but was not near as good as Starbucks. I think a next time I'll use less milk, even stronger coffee and more flavoring (I used caramel instead of chocolate). I added in a bit of International Flavor coffees Swiss Mocha for the chocolatey flavoring. Like I said - it was good and is a good base to start from. Thanks for posting!

    I just made this delightful drink. I couldn't wait for the coffee to get cold so I added an ice cube to it before I put it in the blender with the rest of the ingredients listed. I had half and am saving the rest for my husband when he gets home later. He is in for a real treat. The amounts of the ingredients is the perfect level of sweetness. I really enjoyed it, thanks for sharing the recipe.

    This is delicious and insanely close to the real thing...and so cheap to make! Now DH can have a Frappachino every morning and take one to work without it costing out the wazoo! Thanks for posting this!

    I made this for my daughter (a frapppachino addict) and my boyfriend and they both loved it. The cost is next to nothing compared to the chain price, and we had all of the ingredients on hand. I will definitely make this again. Thank you for posting such a fabulous recipe!!!!

    Excellent and very easy! I used Splenda instead of sugar. Tastes just like it's supposed to (and it's a whole lot cheaper, too!).
