Ninja Creami Starbucks Copycat Frappuccino
If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably found yourself in the Starbucks drive-thru line, daydreaming about that rich, icy mocha Frappuccino, only to snap back to reality when you hear the total cost. Well, what if I told you that your favorite Starbucks treat could be recreated right in the comfort of your own home, saving you a pretty penny without sacrificing that coffeehouse taste? That’s right! Today, I’m thrilled to share with you a game-changer recipe. And the best part? It’s ridiculously easy, thanks to the magic of the Ninja Creami ice cream machine.
We picked up our Ninja Creami last summer and have made all sorts of tasty concoctions since it arrived. This Starbucks copycat frappuccino is a family favorite. It is the perfect afternoon pick-me-up on a warm day!
The Ingredients: Simple, Sweet, and To the Point
Before we dive into the easy process, let’s talk ingredients. You’ll only need three:
- A 9.6 fl oz bottle of Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino drink
- Cold brew black iced coffee
- Hershey’s Simply 5 Chocolate Syrup
That’s it! I know, it’s hard to believe something so simple can taste so great, but trust me, you’re in for a treat.
The Process
- Mix It Up: Start by pouring the bottle of Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino drink into a Ninja Creami pint container. Add iced coffee to the container until you reach the “drinkable” fill line. Give it a stir with a spoon.
- Freeze It: As with all Ninja frozen treats, you need to put the lid on the container and freeze it for 24 hours.
- Creami Time: After 24, pop that bad boy into your Ninja Creami according to the machine’s instructions. I used the “Creamiccino” setting and let the machine work its magic. In a few minutes, you’ll have a creamy, dreamy concoction that’s ready to enjoy.
Get Sipping
Garnish your glass with some swirls of chocolate syrup. Then add your frozen drink mixture to the glass. Top with another drizzle of chocolate syrup, add a straw, and your drink is ready to enjoy!
