What is a frappe?

Simply put, a frappe is just a chilled, typically blended drink containing milk, ice and coffee. However, nowadays the options are endless, and you’ll find flavours like strawberries and cream, mocha, cookies and cream, etc.

These are more like a caffeinated milkshake, and depending on how blended you like them, they can have quite a chunky ice texture or a very smooth mouthfeel. The choice is completely up to you!

Why Mini Eggs?

Since 1967, mini eggs have become essential for Easter celebrations (though, let’s be honest, many of us start indulging as soon as they hit the shelves in January!).

With a creamy milk chocolate centre encased in a thin, crunchy shell, it’s the light dusting of icing sugar that makes them truly unique and irresistibly delicious! When thinking about an Easter-themed frappe, mini eggs were the first chocolate that came to mind!

Does this contain caffeine?

In this recipe, we used a double espresso, so it has some caffeine, but if you are caffeine-free, you can use a decaf brew. Or if you’re thinking of a kiddo-friendly alternative, you can leave the coffee out completely.

Ingredients (makes 1 cup):

Method

1. Brew a double espresso and set aside to cool.
2. If using our hot chocolate, add three heaped tsps. to a pan with the milk, and heat until melted. Set aside to cool.
3. Once your hot chocolate and espresso are cooled to at least room temperature, add them with ice and mini eggs to your blender.
4. Blend/pulse until smooth.
5. If you’re feeling fancy, drizzle some syrup around the inside of your glass.
6. Pour into your glass, top with cream, chocolate syrup and a sprinkle of mini eggs.
