How to Make This Frozen Cappuccino Recipe
Step One: Add the ice cubes and milk to a blender.
Step Two: Add in the cool espresso. Hot espresso will melt the ice so let it cool to room temperature or chill it first.
Step Three: Blend until the mixture is smooth.
Step Four: Top with whipped cream and caramel syrup if you want! Enjoy!
Top Tip
If you don't have espresso, don't fret! You can use instant coffee as well for a burst of flavor!
Substitutions
- Brown sugar - Adding a little bit of brown sugar or maple syrup in place of the simple syrup can be a great way to add a pop of sweetness.
- Chocolate syrup - Make this drink super sweet and loaded with chocolate!
- Alternative milk - You can use various types of milk like soy milk, almond milk, skim, or low fat as well in this drink recipe.
- Coffee cubes - Instead of using plain ice cubes, you can freeze the espresso or coffee into ice cubes to add to the drink.Â
- Vanilla syrup - Sub in this Vanilla Bean Simple Syrup Recipe for an amazing option.
Variations
- Light cream - You can easily add light cream or French vanilla to your drink for sweetness or to cut the caffeine flavor.

Equipment
Since this simple frozen coffee drink is easy to whip up, all you need is a high-speed blender and your favorite drinking glass.
Storage
For the best flavor and taste, be sure to drink this recipe once it's made, and frozen. While you can still drink it after it chills to room temperature a bit, the best flavor and texture occur once it's blended and served right away.
I don't recommend making this in advance and storing it as the ingredients will separate in the fridge. Since it takes just minutes to make, fresh is best.
Common Questions
You can! If you just want that coffee taste without the added caffeine, you can absolutely use decaffeinated coffee instead. This is a great way to change the recipe without changing the flavor.Â
Absolutely. Sometimes, I'll make a lot of espresso or a pot of coffee and have some leftovers. I don't want to throw it out, so this is where this simple trick works well. I just make sure that I pour the leftover coffee into a jar and store it in the fridge. (with a lid) Then, when I want to make this simple drink recipe, I can use the leftover coffee and not have to make a fresh new pot or a fresh serving of espresso.Â
It still tastes amazing and also helps cut down on waste.Â
The fun part about making this drink at home is that you can customize it to whatever you like. Adding ice cream, sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce, and even some chunks of chocolate are all fair game.
This simple addition can take this frozen drink from ordinary to extraordinary with minimal effort.Â
