What’s in a White Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino?
How it’s Made
The standard formulation for this ice cold specialty beverage includes Frappuccino Roast coffee flavored syrup, white chocolate mocha sauce, and whole milk.
It’s blended with milk and ice and topped with whipped cream.
Customize your drink with alternative milk options such as 2% milk, nonfat milk, oat milk, almond milk, or soy milk. Calories and nutritional values vary with any substitutions or additional add-ins.
Frappuccino drinks are blended with ice cubes, which waters it down slightly. Using low-fat milk or a substitute like coconut milk may reduce the rich creaminess of the frozen beverage.
Recommended Milk
Accordingly, baristas generally recommend using whole milk rather than a low-fat dairy milk to maintain the creamy milk flavor profile of the drink.
In addition to whole milk and ice, the standard drink includes flavoring syrups. Here are the number of scoops and pumps based on drink size.
