Time 4h55m

Yield Four 7-ounce servings (28 ounces)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ounce cocoa nibs
16 ounces whole milk
6 ounces 65-percent to 70-percent bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
3 ounces sugar
2 ounces water
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 ounces whole milk, half-and-half or brewed coffee, for serving

Steps:

  • Pulse the cocoa nibs in a spice grinder 3 to 4 times until the nibs are coarsely chopped. Place the nibs in a 1-quart microwave-safe measuring cup and add the 16 ounces of milk. Microwave on high for 3 to 4 minutes or until the milk reaches 160 degrees F. Steep at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the chocolate, sugar, water and salt in the carafe of a 1-liter French press. Set aside.
  • After steeping, return the nib-milk mixture to the microwave and heat on high for 2 minutes until it simmers or reaches 185 degrees F. Strain the hot nib-milk mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into the French press carafe. Set aside for 1 minute, and then stir to combine the chocolate and milk. Pump the plunger of the French press 10 to 15 times to froth and aerate. Pour the mixture into a standard ice cube tray and freeze until solid, 3 to 4 hours or overnight.
  • Combine the frozen hot chocolate cubes with the 4 ounces of milk, half-and-half or coffee in a blender and blend until smooth. Serve immediately.

I'm not sure how I feel about this frappe. It's definitely unique, but I'm not sure if I like the combination of coffee and chocolate.

I was disappointed with this frappe. It was too watery and the chocolate flavor was weak.

This frappe is a great way to use up leftover coffee. I always have a few cups of coffee left over at the end of the week and this is a great way to use it up.

This frappe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very enjoyable. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.
