Description
A layered, custom-blended beverage combining the flavors of strawberry and mocha. This drink is a creamy and rich Frappuccino with a distinct chocolate and fruit flavor profile.
Ingredients
Scale
- For the Strawberry Layer:
- 1/2 cup milk (or milk substitute)
- 1/2 cup ice
- 1/4 cup strawberry puree or syrup
- 1/4 tsp xanthan gum (for thickener, optional)
- For the Mocha Layer:
- 1/2 cup milk (or milk substitute)
- 1/2 cup ice
- 1/4 cup mocha sauce or chocolate syrup
- 1/4 tsp xanthan gum (for thickener, optional)
- Toppings and Garnish:
- Whipped cream
- Additional strawberry puree or mocha sauce for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare the strawberry layer first. In a high-speed blender, combine the milk, ice, strawberry puree, and xanthan gum (if using). Blend until smooth and frosty. Pour this mixture into the bottom of a tall glass.
- Rinse the blender. Next, prepare the mocha layer. Add the milk, ice, mocha sauce, and xanthan gum (if using) to the blender. Blend until smooth.
- Carefully pour the mocha layer on top of the strawberry layer in the glass to create a layered effect.
- Top the drink with a generous swirl of whipped cream.
- Drizzle with extra strawberry puree and/or mocha sauce for a finishing touch. Serve immediately.
Notes
- The ‘Velvet Fang’ name suggests a deep, rich flavor, so using a high-quality, dark mocha sauce is recommended.
- Xanthan gum is a great addition to mimic the creamy, non-icy texture of a store-bought Frappuccino.
- For a caffeinated version, you can add a shot of espresso or 1/4 cup of strong brewed coffee to the mocha layer.
- This recipe can be easily adjusted by changing the ratio of strawberry to mocha or adding other ingredients like chocolate chips.
