This easy homemade frozen coffee recipe drink is the best way to start your drink. Enjoy as your breakfast to get you going with a little caffeine but in a fun way. Cheap compared to buying one each morning and tastes just as good as at the donut shop. (affiliate links present)

Here we are going with plain, just the main ingredients without any add ins. If you love a mocha twist you could follow our chocolate cream cold brew recipe, freeze that base in your ice cube tray and go from there. Both are Dunkin Donuts drink favorites that we have figured out how to make right at home in your kitchen.

Tips

If you make it this way, freezing the actual main ingredient, it will be a bolder flavor. Think about it. Using the ingredients + plain water ice cubes will add a lot of flavorless liquid into the mix which will dilute your drink and it won’t taste like you’re used to. THIS is the way to mimic it in a copycat, almost identical way.

The same really can go for other drinks such as if you wanted to make frozen hot chocolate. No brewing required with that one but if you make or buy a gallon of chocolate milk, freeze into trays and blend with a milk product, or heavy cream you can make something your kids will love alongside you too.

If you wanted to make it more like mocha with these steps you could add a few tbsp of chocolate syrup into the blender. Use the same whipped topping as we do in our whipped coffee for a fun twist. Feel free to try a different tweaks like caramel sauce too to see which you love better.

How to Make Frozen Coffee in Blender

Brew a cup or pot off coffee (approx. 8-10 oz for each serving).  Pour the brewed coffee into an ice cube tray and freeze for several hours or until firm. Remove frozen cold coffee ice cubes the ice cube tray and place in a blender, along with milk and honey (or preferred sweetener). Blend until you have a smooth consistency. Pour iced coffee into a cup and top with whipped cream, cool whip, coffee frosting and/or chocolate shavings, if desired.

Skinny Frozen Coffee

Want to make this coffee drink with less calories? Sugar free sweeteners are great alternatives. Use fat free vanilla almond milk or milk too. I will say that the less fat you add into the mix to blend together the less creamy it will be overall. Fat = creamy.

For dairy free you can use cashew, almond, or even better use coconut milk. As for the other 2 ingredients there are several alternatives as well. Let’s talk about different sweeteners for a minute shall we. If you have an allergy or dislike, alternatives for honey would be;

Instructions 

  • Brew a cup of your preferred type of coffee (approx. 8-10 oz).  Pour the coffee into an ice cube tray and freeze for several hours or until firm.
    A white ice cube tray filled with brown liquid, presumably frozen coffee, is placed on a light gray countertop. To the left of the tray, a teaspoon holds a small amount of the same brown liquid. A gray cloth and a glass pitcher are partially visible in the background, hinting at how to make cold foam for coffee.
  • Remove frozen coffee from the ice cube tray and place in a blender, along with milk and honey (or preferred sweetener). Blend until you have a smooth consistency.
    Ice cubes, milk, and a hint of frozen coffee sit in a blender cup on the kitchen counter.
  • Pour into a cup and top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, if desired.

Probably the most popular duo is with our cherry coffee cake. You really can use any can of fruit filling you want but this one always gets thumbs up around here.

You really only need 3 ingredients to make this, we have a copycat Dunkin frozen coffee recipe for you here. Just coffee, or coffee extract, ice and cream or milk! We will show you the best way to make this popular breakfast drink right at home for cheap!

Is Dunkin frozen coffee like a frappuccino?

A little bit. It is a cross between their bottled style and the blended iced version at the restaurant. Best thing about making homemade peppermint frappuccino or mocha homemade like we show you here is that you can add other ingredients like chocolate or caramel syrup.
