Coconut Matcha Frappuccino

This Coconut Matcha Frappuccino is a delightful drink with a tropical twist that is very creamy. It tastes great on a hot day since it mixes earthy matcha with sweet coconut and a hint of vanilla.

Also, it’s really easy to make at home—no need to go to a fancy coffee shop! The sweet, creamy texture is a hit with kids, while adults receive a tiny energy boost from the matcha. Let’s mix it up!

Ingredients

1 cup of coconut milk (chilled)
Ice cubes in a half cup
1 teaspoon of matcha powder
1 tablespoon of honey (or maple syrup)
½ teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 tablespoons of shredded coconut (toasted for garnish)
Optional: whipped cream for topping

Equipment

Mixing tool
Cups and spoons for measuring
Spoon and tall glass

Preparation Instructions

1. Put the coconut milk, ice, and matcha in the blender.
  Put the coconut milk that has been chilled into a blender. Put in the matcha powder and ice cubes.
2. Mix in some honey and vanilla extract.
  Put some honey in the blender, then add a dash of vanilla essence to make it taste better.

1. Mix until the mixture is smooth and frothy.
  For 30 to 40 seconds, blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth, foamy, and well mixed.
2. Pour it into a glass.
  Pour the blended frappuccino into a large glass with care.
3. Add whipped cream and toasted coconut on top.
  For the finishing touch, add a swirl of whipped cream and then sprinkle on some shredded coconut that has been toasted.

Pro Tips

For the creamiest texture, use full-fat coconut milk! Light coconut milk will work, but it won’t be as rich.
Before mixing, sift the matcha to keep it from clumping in your drink.
You can change the sweetness to your desire by using honey, maple syrup, or even a sugar-free option.
For more flavor and crunch, toast the shredded coconut in a dry pan.
Want more foam? Blend for an extra 10 seconds to create the right creamy texture.

Changes and Substitutions

To make it vegan, use maple syrup instead of honey and whipped cream that doesn’t have dairy in it.
Add a teaspoon of cocoa powder to make a matcha-chocolate blend!
Extra coconutty: For even more coconut taste, use coconut whipped cream.
Iced version: If you want a quick iced latte, don’t use a blender; just whisk everything over ice.

Tips for Making Ahead

Mix everything together ahead of time and keep it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Before you drink it, give it a quick stir!
Freeze on ice cube trays, then re-blend whenever you want a frappuccino.

Leftovers and Storage

This is finest when it’s fresh, but if you have leftovers, put them in the fridge and shake or blend them again before drinking.
Want something frozen? To make matcha popsicles, pour leftover food into a popsicle form and freeze it.
