Coconut Frappe Recipes

COCOA NIB FRAPPE

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.

COCONUT MOCHA FRAPPE

• Place coconut in a skillet over medium-low heat and toast, stirring constantly until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside 1/2 teaspoon for garnish.
• Combine toasted coconut, coffee ice cubes, coffee, coconut milk, 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup, and sweetener in a blender; blend until icy and frothy. Pour into a large glass and top with whipped topping, reserved toasted coconut, and remaining chocolate syrup.

• Whip the chilled coconut cream and the remaining 1 teaspoon sugar in a stand mixer, or with a hand mixer, until it holds soft peaks, about 1 minute. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with an open star tip and pipe a swirl of whipped cream onto each drink. Sprinkle the cream with the toasted coconut and dust lightly with cocoa powder.
