This frozen mocha latte beats that big coffee chain’s frozen drink easily. It’s cheaper, I don’t have to leave my house, I control the ingredients, and honestly…I think it tastes better. Unfortunately, I make this way to often. It is my usual mid-afternoon pick me up on days when I am just draggin’. Putting it in the pretty glass makes all the difference too.
I probably shouldn’t admit this but my kids think I’m the best mom ever when I make this. They sneak sips from my cup and they think it’s some sort of chocolate ice cream dessert. If I know the kids will be sharing, I leave out the extra instant coffee granules. I figure the amount of coffee they get in the mocha coffee mix is less caffeine than what would be in a soda. {I’m so bad, I know}
You can use your favorite chocolate syrup, but I prefer to use my homemade chocolate syrup recipe. I promise it is super easy and scrumptious! You won’t go back to the store bought brand once you make your own….it makes everything taste better and lasts for a couple months in the fridge {that is…if you don’t use it up right away!}
I think this would make a killer Mud Slide! Add some Kalua or Bailey’s instead of the milk and give it a try. I haven’t tried that yet, but I can only imagine how tasty it would be on a hot summer night, relazing by the pool! Promise you will let me know if you give this “adult” version a try…I’m dying to know!

1/2 tsp vanilla

This looks so good! Thanks for the recipe.
These look absolutely amazing. I think the next time I have friends over I am going to try it.
This looks delicious! I would love one right now!
This looks amazing!! I love cocoa mocha frosting, my aunt’s specialty from my childhood, this reminds me of that. Yummy!
Before I forget, I don’t think you are a bad mom for letting them have a sip or two. I’m sure there will be others who disagree but it’s my opinion for what it’s worth. I think this looks absolutely delicious! There are enough hot days left to warrant this in the afternoon for sure.
Oh boy does this look delicious! would love one right about now. 🙂
One of my ultimate favorites when drinking coffee is a Mocha Latte! This recipe is a must have for a coffee fanatic!

I need one right now. Come over, personal barista? Please?
Mmmm, my weakness! I do believe I’ll need to stock up on some ingredients for this summer, I foresee it being full of these!
Sounds delish!
I’d much rather make these types of things myself than go to the chain. For all the reasons you listed. Thanks for the recipe!
