This creamy dairy-free Frappuccino made in the blender with frozen strong-brewed coffee, almond milk and maple syrup vibes is the best! All you need is 4 ingredients, plus it's super easy and cheap to make.

Coffee cubes!!! These little nuggets of caffeinated glory are changing my life as of late. I love them blended into smoothies for an extra kick or whizzed up with almond milk, maple syrup, cacao, and vanilla extract for a creamy, fluffy mocha of sorts.
Always have, always will. And frappuccinos?! They always sounded too fancy and I can't lie, too expensive. But I learned when testing this recipe that making a homemade one is actually so easy, cheap, and mega satisfying.

Coffee ice cubes are a game changer
Hello, strong coffee flavor that's not at all diluted! I developed this recipe with blended frozen coffee because it keeps the coffee flavor so strong. I hate a watered down drink.
Simply pour a pot of cooled, strong-brewed coffee into ice cube trays and VERY CAREFULLY putting them in the freezer to solidify. You don't want a layer of frozen coffee lining your freezer like I have now do you?
A higher fat milk makes a big difference
It was clear in testing that low fat milk like almond milk yields an icier drink, where creamy oat milk is, you guessed it, creamier and more satisfying.

Devour the luscious creaminess that is this easy vegan frappuccino, preferably via a gold straw because you're EXTRA.
Weeeeeeee you're welcome.

Oh my goodness, this is SO good. I've really missed fraps & this fits with my dietary needs so well. I've tried so many, but this is the only keeper! Thank you!!

Yayyy thank you Landon!
Savannah Rhodes says
I love this recipe. I used Oat milk and a squeeze of agave nectar since that's what I had on hand and OH MY it was good!! Finally, a recipe where the coffee is not overpowered by sugar and chocolate. I love how simple it is and how the coffee is the star here. Absolutely delicious!
Alexis says
Yayyy thanks a ton, Savannah!
Annie says
Just made it and we loved it! We prefer it better than another that we made yesterday from another blogger.
Alexis Joseph says
I'm so glad you loved this one, Annie!
Anna says
What is the cream on top?
Haley Hansen says
GENIUS. You are a genius. Frappuccinos used to be some of my favorite drinks and I'm so happy to have found a recipe that won't make me feel gross. Can't wait to try it!
Julie says
This looks really good, especially w/the warm weather approaching!
I'm a little confused (not that unusual) by the 2 different textures of drink. The instructions seem to be for just the coffee. What is the whip cream looking part? THX!
Alexis says
That’s just was happens when you blend it up!
Chels says
What new espresso maker did you buy ???
Lisa says
This recipe makes me so happy! It's a game changer financially (cannot drive by a Starbucks without my car ending up in the drive thru) and nutritionally as well. Thank you thank you!!
Trista Johnson says
I'm not a coffee drinker, but I might steal your approach and make MATCHA CUBES!!!
Alexis says
Ok girl that’s an EPIC IDEA!!!
Kori says
Girl, yes! Coffee in all its glorious forms, thankyouverymuch!! I can't wait to make this!
