This Mocha Ice Cream Crumble Frappuccino Will Be The Best Thing You've Ever Tasted

an original, delicious twist on a popular Starbucks beverage!

Starbucks

You may or may not be familiar with Starbucks' Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino! Starbucks, on their website, describes this refreshing caffeinated beverage as "Frappuccino Roast coffee, mocha sauce and Frappuccino chips blended with milk and ice, layered on top of whipped cream and chocolate cookie crumble and topped with vanilla whipped cream, mocha drizzle and even more chocolate cookie crumble. Each sip is as good as the last...all the way to the end." Well, the other day I was sitting on the couch watching The Office (because apparently I have nothing better to do with my life than laughing at Michael Scott's dumb jokes-now don't get me wrong, I really do love The Office) and I was craving-surprise, surprise!-a mocha cookie crumble frappuccino. But although many Starbucks stores are open now, I didn't want to drive in the pouring rain to go get one. And I'm the type of person who, as soon as they get a craving for something, will do ANYTHING to get my hands on it. So, using a recipe I found online that only requires a few simple ingredients and adding a few of my own unique twists to it, I created (not to brag) one of the best beverages I have ever tasted.

Whether you're a hardcore coffee drinker and only ever consume a cup of black coffee or you prefer the sugary blended coffee drinks, this delicious treat is perfect for satisfying your taste buds! It gives you that sweet chocolaty flavor, your favorite taste of coffee, that caffeine kick and more all in one beverage.

a quick note

i am not taking full credit for this idea! i have never seen this recipe anywhere before, but that does not mean it didn't already exist

You'll need:

A blender

Measuring cups

Any kind of milk you'd like

Cocoa powder, preferably sweetened

Sugar

Bottled iced mocha (remember the Starbucks bottled frappuccinos you sometimes see at grocery or convenience stores? That's it. I'll insert a few pictures down below for you to see)

One ice cream sandwich! The best kind to use for this recipe is vanilla ice cream sandwiched between two chocolate wafers

The pictures you'll see above are of the products I would recommend using for this recipe, as the two of those both have a smooth, rich flavor. But any brand of iced mocha you find will work!

It's time to start making your drink!

First, pour 2-3 cups of milk, depending on how many people you're serving and how much you want to make, into the blender. Then you'll add 4 teaspoons of cocoa powder, followed by 4 tablespoons of sugar. Because you want this drink to be cold and refreshing, fill a tall glass almost to the brim with ice and add that in the blender as well. Now it's time to start the first round of blending.

Of course, before you turn the blender on, plug it into the wall. I didn't think saying that would be necessary but who knows?

Ok, now you're actually going to start blending these first few ingredients together! Watch as your blender mixes everything and stop whenever you'd like to. Then, before you move on, taste what you have of this concoction so far. If you think it needs a little more milk, sugar, cocoa powder or ice, go ahead and add that in. Keep blending and adding more until you're satisfied with the results!

Now is the best part...

You're not quite done! Now it's time to add in that delicious ice cream sandwich. You can either add in the whole thing at once or tear it into small crumbles before dropping it into the blender. Once you've done that, turn on the blender again and continue until you're satisfied with the consistency. If you prefer a thicker consistency or you like it a little more light, just keep going until you get that!

Also, if you want, after you've blended in the ice cream sandwich you can either get another one or grab some Oreo cookie crumbles and sprinkle them on top! This is completely optional, though.

You're almost done! Remember that iced mocha coffee from earlier? Pour a good splash of that, however much you want, into the blender-you don't have to actually turn on the blender again and mix it in, though. Now you're finally finished! Pour into a glass, mug, bottle or whatever you'd like.

I really hope you enjoyed this recipe! Sorry I didn't add any of my own pictures of the final product of this into the article. Let me know in the comments how yours turned out-feel free to share any pics or tips you have to make this even better!
