Copycat Starbucks Java Chip Frappuccino

I love Starbucks Frapps, no, I’m addicted to them.

Starbucks is a fabulous thing for coffee lovers and every now and then I’ll treat myself a cup of Frappuccino.  Since I’m addicted to Frappuccinos, so I’ve been searching for ways to make similar drinks at home to feel like I’m at my own personal coffee house.  

So far I’ve done a Java Chip Frap, Caramel Frap, Double Chocolate Chip Frap, Green Tea Frap, Vanilla Bean Frap, and Cotton Candy Frap that are pretty good in taste when compared to the real thing.  It saved me a trip to Starbucks and about $5 since I have all the ingredients at hand.

I use a copycat recipe, so it’s not the actual propriety recipe that is property of Starbucks. It’s only approximations (for the real thing, visit your local Starbucks).  It’s quite easy to make and is actually really close to Starbucks coffee.  To make it creamy, you could add some milk or cream (unless you just want a pure coffee drink).  In our house, we add milk or even a touch of vanilla ice cream, depending on what we have.  My daughter loved it (as suspected).  We enjoyed these out on the terrace as we watched the sun set.
