Nutella Frappucino Recipe (Starbucks Copycat) ~ Dollar Tree Gourmet

Thursday, June 26, 2014

Hi everyone! I came up with a new Dollar Tree Gourmet recipe that's so simple and so yummy- *Nutella* Frappucinos! (I have the word Nutella in asterisks because I actually used a knock-off Dollar Tree brand, which was a dead ringer for the real stuff). Here's the recipe:

Ingredients
  • ¾ cup double-strength coffee
  • 1 cup milk (any kind, dairy or non)
  • 1 1/2 cups ice
  • 3 Tbls. Chocolate Hazelnut Spread
  • Optional:
  • 3 Tbs whipped cream
  • Nutella Topping (instructions below)

Instructions
  1. Make double-strength coffee by brewing with twice the coffee required by your coffee maker(that should be 2 tablespoons of ground coffee per each cup of coffee). Chill before using.
  2. Then combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend on high speed until ice is crushed and drink is smooth.
  3. Pour into a 16-ounce glass, and serve with a straw.
  4. For Nutella Topping, microwave a tablespoon of nutella for 10-15 seconds
  5. Top each glass with whipped cream and drizzle nutella topping over the whipped cream
Enjoy! :)
