Nutella Frappuccino

This Nutella Frappuccino is a delicious and creamy treat that is so easy to make! You are going to love the rich chocolate hazelnut flavor of Nutella, it’s the perfect Summer treat on a warm day!

I rarely go to Starbucks but if I do you will find me with a frappuccino! I stopped drinking coffee a few months ago so it’s go big or-go-home kind of thing for me. This is on the Starbucks secret menu item, yes, they have a secret menu, I learned that from my kids, you just have to ask. With my youngest being a huge fan of Nutella, he was so happy to come home to this after school last week when the temperatures were hot.

This recipe comes together very quickly, in about 5 minutes

Here is what you will need to make your homemade Nutella frappuccino

Brewed coffee-Use your favorite kind of coffee and make sure it’s cold,

Milk- If you don’t drink dairy you can substitute almond milk or a plant-based milk, just make sure it’s creamy

Ice cubes- I use crushed ice cubes you could also freeze your coffee and use coffee ice cubes

Vanilla- I use vanilla to add just a little bit of sweetness, you could also use sugar or leave it out completely.

Nutella Chocolate Hazelnut Spread– No explanation is needed here.

I love my Ninja Personal BlenderIt’s perfect for drinks like this.

Toppings

You can get as creative as you want here. Drizzle some caramel, chocolate, melted Nutella, a little whipped cream, a pump of hazelnut syrup, pumps of mocha syrup, dolce syrup, add what you love! You could even add some chocolate chips if you are feeling really naughty.

Adjustments:

The ingredients and amounts used are to my liking. This recipe is really easy to customize though. If you like a lighter flavor, add less of the Nutella, not a coffee fan, make your coffee a little weaker. Looking to lighten the calorie load, use unsweetened almond milk or soy milk and skip all of the extra toppings. Looking for a thicker drink, add a teaspoon of peanut butter. This drink truly is customizable!

If you want to get super fancy, you can make your whipped cream out of heavy cream

1 cup heavy cream
2 Tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

Using a hand mixer, whip the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until medium peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.

This is the equivalent of a 16oz grande, I usually split it up amongst the kids.
