While I made Kirk his morning latte, I pulled 2 shots espresso for myself and made up a frosty frappe to go with my breakfast last week.
I didn’t make it very sweet, and my cherries are tart (Costco sourced). Which was fine with me…I added a bit of coconut sugar to take the bite of the espresso from the drink. I’d hedge most would want it sweeter. This is no tooth rotting frappe. The kind a year ago I was sucking down daily. Wow, have I come that far?? Didn’t think of it that way…..I adapted to less sweet faster than I thought I would.
Cherry-Mocha Frappe
Ingredients:
- 2 shots espresso (or cold-brewed, see below)
- 8 ounces chocolate coconut milk
- 1 cup frozen unsweetened cherries
- 1 large or 2 small frozen ripe bananas
- 1 Tbsp coconut sugar
- 1 cup ice cubes
Directions:
Add the hot espresso shots with the milk, then add remaining ingredients. Process on high, in a high-speed blender, tamping as needed, until smooth.
Serve immediately with a wide straw.
Makes about 20 ounces.
Note:
You can also use cold-brewed espresso as well.

Looks delicious!! This would go great with my cherry chocolate chip muffins..mmmm 🙂
You can make this for me every morning, dear Sarah! Yummy!
I hope costco keeps those cherries! I want a deep freezer full. We have been loving them!
Speaking of…I need to go get another bag! Or three.
Plus the coupons just started, wipes are on it! 🙂
I know! Just not looking forward to shopping solo, with the 3 boys. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. 😉
Yes, I’ve just got two and I dread shopping. My husband never comes. Last time I ended up with extra rotted strawberries, treats I didn’t want and more since my littlest can’t keep his paws out of packages. He’s a runaway as well.
It’s the sulking, moody teen that does it for me, who eats his brothers samples……
haha, I’ll trade ya!
