    • If you lust after those frothy frozen coffee drinks at your local coffee shop, then this mochaccino recipe is for you. This easy homemade version uses low-fat milk, cocoa powder, coffee and just a little bit of maple syrup, so it has a fraction of the calories of a traditional version. (A small mocha frappuccino at Starbucks is 270 calories!) Coffee ice cubes, made by freezing coffee in an ice cube tray, make this drink frosty and give it a big, strong coffee flavor. Recipe by Joyce Hendley for EatingWell.

    Ingredients

    Serves:

      • 1 cup double-strength brewed coffee or espresso (see Tip)
      • 1 cup low-fat milk
      • 2 tablespoons unsweetened natural cocoa powder (not Dutch-process), plus more for sprinkling
      • 2-3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
      • 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
      • 1-2 ice cubes, if needed

    Directions

    1. Freeze coffee in an ice cube tray until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight.

    2. Combine the frozen coffee cubes, milk, cocoa, maple syrup to taste and vanilla in a blender. Pulse until smooth, adding plain ice cubes if you want it thicker or a little water if you want it thinner. Divide between 2 glasses, dust with a little cocoa powder, if desired, and serve immediately.

    Tip: Double-strength coffee or espresso gives you the best coffee flavor when making blended or iced coffee drinks. If the coffee isn’t strong enough, the drink will taste watered-down. To brew double-strength coffee, use twice the amount of grounds as you normally would for a regular cup of coffee. Espresso is strong enough brewed regularly.

    To Make Ahead: Equipment: Ice cube tray
