Chocolate Coffee Frappe

Submitted by Anu_N

"This is something I tried when I realised that there was too much chocolate syrup at home and I needed to find ways to get rid of it! Turned up with this surprisingly simple, easy but yummy frappe recipe. It's not very sweet, but for someone who doesn't add sugar to her coffee (um... that's me), it's perfect! Oh, but feel free to do so, if you wish."

This tasted great but not to be taken too close to bed time!

My one question is...how do you end up with TOO MUCH chocolate syrup at home? I can never keep enough on hand.

I liked the name of your creatively thought of recipe. I made it after dinner tonight and love it. Its something my tastebuds are thanking you for:) I used 4 tsps. of chocolate syrup and 1 1/2 of coffee. Besides this, I added 2 tsps. of sugar as well. Mom loved it too. Thank you for sharing this, its lovely!

This is delightful! I doubled the recipe and added about a teaspoon of sugar. The cinnamon really made this special - the more I drank it the more I loved it. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

This was a great coffee drink for what is already turning out to be a rather warm day. It really hit the spot. I am not a real fan of skim milk though, so I think I would have enjoyed it more had I used whole milk or perhaps adding a bit of heavy cream. But it was good, and I will make it again. Thanks, Anu.
