Ingredients You’ll Need
-
For the Frappuccino:
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup strongly brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup crushed chocolate chip cookies
- 1/4 cup mini M&Ms
- 3 tablespoons chocolate syrup
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup ice cubes
For Topping:
- Whipped cream for topping
- Extra M&Ms and cookie crumbs for garnish
How to Make M&M Cookie Frappuccinos
Step 1: Gather and Prep Your Ingredients
Start by measuring out all your ingredients. Crush the cookies (not too fine, you want little bits in every sip!), brew your coffee and let it cool, and be sure you have plenty of ice on hand. Lining up everything in advance makes blending a breeze and turns your kitchen into your own personal coffee shop.
Step 2: Load the Blender
Into your blender, add the milk, cooled coffee, vanilla ice cream, crushed cookies, mini M&Ms, chocolate syrup, sugar, vanilla extract, and ice cubes. Toss it all in at once—it’s practically impossible to mess this up. Those chocolate chips and colorful candies will swirl and break up just enough for great flavor in every sip.
Step 3: Blend It All Together
Whiz everything on high speed until the mixture is perfectly smooth and thick. If you prefer a chunkier texture, pulse just until blended. Now’s the time to taste: if you think you want it a little sweeter or more chocolaty, add a touch more syrup or sugar and blend again for a second.
Step 4: Pour and Garnish
Divide your M&M Cookie Frappuccinos between two tall glasses. Top each with a generous swirl of whipped cream, a scattering of extra mini M&Ms, and a pinch of cookie crumbs. Grab a fat straw and a long spoon—trust me, you’ll want both for the ultimate experience!
Step 5: Enjoy Immediately
This treat is all about fresh, frosty fun, so serve your M&M Cookie Frappuccinos right away. Invite someone to share or bask in the indulgence all by yourself. Either way, you’re in for a dessert drink that’s pure joy in a glass.
How to Serve M&M Cookie Frappuccinos
Garnishes
For the most eye-catching, Instagram-worthy finish, always crown your M&M Cookie Frappuccinos with a mountain of whipped cream, a sprinkle of rainbow mini M&Ms, and a dusting of cookie crumbs. If you’re feeling extra, a drizzle of chocolate syrup ties it all together and practically demands a photo before the first sip.
Side Dishes
Pair your M&M Cookie Frappuccinos with a light snack to balance the sweetness: think salty pretzel sticks, fresh fruit, or even a simple handful of roasted nuts. If you’re throwing a party, serve alongside a platter of assorted cookies or tiny brownie bites for the ultimate dessert spread.
Creative Ways to Present
Take your presentation up a notch by serving these frappuccinos in mason jars or tall milkshake glasses with playful paper straws. Rim the glasses with melted chocolate and dip in crushed cookies or mini M&Ms for an extra-special touch. For a party, pour into mini cups for fun dessert shooters everyone will love.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you find yourself with leftover M&M Cookie Frappuccinos (which is rare!), pour any extras into a container and pop it into the fridge. Just note that the texture may thin out as the ice melts, so they’re best enjoyed fresh.
Freezing
To save your frappuccinos for later, pour into a freezer-safe container and freeze. When ready to enjoy, thaw in the fridge for about 30 minutes, then give it a good stir or blend until slushy again. The flavor holds up beautifully, though the M&Ms might soften a bit.
Reheating
These are meant to be sipped icy cold, so reheating isn’t needed. If your frappuccino is too solid after freezing, just let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes or give it a whirl in the blender with a splash of milk to bring back that creamy, sippable consistency.
FAQs
Can I make M&M Cookie Frappuccinos without coffee?
Absolutely! Just replace the coffee with an equal amount of extra milk or try chocolate milk for a caffeine-free treat. It’ll still be delicious and kid-friendly.
Can I use regular M&Ms instead of mini M&Ms?
Yes, regular M&Ms will work just fine—just give them a rough chop before adding so you get the same colorful bursts in each sip. The mini size just blends more evenly throughout the drink.
How can I make these frappuccinos thicker or thinner?
For a thicker, milkshake-like texture, simply add more ice or ice cream. If you prefer a lighter consistency, use less ice or a splash more milk. Customize the texture to your perfect sip!
Is this recipe suitable for vegetarians?
Definitely! All the ingredients for M&M Cookie Frappuccinos are vegetarian-friendly, just be sure your chocolate syrup and cookies don’t contain any hidden animal products if you’re being extra careful.
Can I make these frappuccinos ahead of time for a party?
You can blend a big batch a few hours in advance and keep it in the fridge, then give it a quick blitz in the blender before serving to restore the frosty texture. Add the whipped cream and toppings just before serving for best results.
