Serves: 1 Serving
Ingredients
- 1 cup of mocha frappuccino
- 1 pump of peppermint syrup
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate drizzle
- Crushed Thin Mint cookies
Instructions
- Begin by preparing a mocha frappuccino. If you have a pre-made mocha frappuccino, you can skip this step. If not, blend together 1 cup of brewed coffee, 1 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup, and ice until smooth.
- Once your mocha frappuccino is ready, pour it into a tall glass, filling it about three-quarters full.
- Add 1 pump of peppermint syrup to the frappuccino. Stir gently to incorporate the syrup evenly throughout the drink.
- Top the frappuccino with a generous swirl of whipped cream. Make sure to cover the entire surface for an indulgent finish.
- Drizzle chocolate syrup over the whipped cream, creating a beautiful pattern that enhances the visual appeal of your drink.
- Finally, crush a few Thin Mint cookies into small pieces and sprinkle them generously on top of the whipped cream and chocolate drizzle. This adds both flavor and texture to your frappuccino.
- Serve immediately with a straw or a spoon, and enjoy your homemade Thin Mint Frappuccino!
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality coffee for the best base flavor
- Chill your glass beforehand to keep the frappuccino colder longer
- For extra mint intensity, add an additional half pump of peppermint syrup
- Use real Thin Mint cookies for authentic flavor (store-bought or Girl Scout cookies work perfectly)
- If you want a smoother texture, blend the crushed cookies into the frappuccino instead of sprinkling on top
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk
- Make sure your ice is fresh to prevent a watery consistency
