I know , I know. It's October, in Michigan, and I am posting a recipe for a frozen mocha frappuccino. But when a girl wants a frozen frappuccino, a girl gets a frozen frappuccino. Even if it is 40 degrees out in the morning.
Ya know, heading to the coffeehouse to get a frappuccino used to be almost a daily habit of mine. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately for my wallet), moving here to Michigan and this small town doesn't lend itself to the daily coffeehouse habit I once had.
The closest coffeehouse to me is all the way in a different town and nowhere close to any of the daily routes I would take to do grocery shopping, running errands, or even taking my daughter to school. So I have had to begin getting creative with my coffeehouse drinks when I am having a craving.
Cravings for a frozen coffee treat have no limits on the weather or what time of year it is. They just happen and I have found a super quick and easy way to make my favorite coffeehouse drinks here at home no matter when it is.
Iced coffee is also a favorite treat of mine and on a recent grocery trip to Walmart I stumbled upon the ready-made International Delight Iced Coffee when picking up some juice for the baby. It was in the same section so how could I have missed that??
Immediately, I thought about all the different things I could make with it and even make my favorite frozen frappuccinos at home. I mean, besides just chugging it straight from the carton because that is something that I would do and am super ok with.
Apparently my hubby also loves frozen coffeehouse drinks as much as I do because he promptly stole one of them after I told him I was finished shooting and proceeded to chug it down and get a brain freeze in the process.
Yep. The non-hot coffee drinker of the house chugged one of these down in 2.3 seconds flat. So it looks like I will be making more of these very soon.

Love this! I’m not a coffee person but good grief if I don’t want to lick the screen right now. 😉 Looks easy and delicious, perfect for my husband who actually is an iced coffee drinker
Not a coffee drinker? ? Whhhhhhaaaaattttt?!?! I forgive you ? and I’m sure that your hubby would definitely love this!
This look so good! Perfect for a mid-day treat! #client
I love frappuccinos and this looks so yummy! Is there any way you can think of to substitute regular coffee for the International Delight? I’ve never had that, so I don’t know how they compare. Thanks!
International Delight is just pre-made iced coffee. It already has all the sweetener, cream, and coffee that you need.
Wow! I love the look of this (and it’s still in the 70’s down here in Alabama for a bit, so it wouldn’t be out of the ordinary to make).
I definitely miss the warm fall and winters of Florida but the change of seasons here is nice. If only it didn’t snow for so long.. I’d stay here forever.
So YUM! I love, love, love iced coffee…it’s kinda the perfect coffee treat here in Florida lol 🙂 I can’t wait to try this one! It looks heavenly!
And much cheaper than a coffeehouse one. 😉
I’ve always scoffed at the notion of coffee that is anything other than black and strong until I was designated driver on a day out this summer and had something similar to this and loved it… Looks fabulous and will definitely be giving it a go 🙂
I love black coffee as well but there are just some days that require something sweet and frozen.
What a rich afternoon treat! I bet it’s super creamy with the International Delights base
This looks super delicious Jenn! I wouldn´t mind having this as my morning coffee on most days 🙂 ps. Great photography too!
Yes! Most days I do that… we all need a little more whipped cream in our lives.
Recipes like this make me wish I drank coffee. It looks like the perfect way to start your day, especially in summer!
Just love these — yum!
Oh dear, I know what I’d like to have every morning from now on. Thanks for that!
I’m a coffee junkie – seriously, I could IV it and live to tell the story. 🙂 This frozen drink looks very tasty and refreshing. Love it!
