Introduction

This Starbucks Copycat S’mores Frappuccino brings the cozy campfire flavors straight to your kitchen. Combining rich chocolate, fluffy marshmallow cream, and the comforting touch of graham cracker crumbs, it’s a delightful treat for any coffee lover craving a sweet twist.

A tall clear glass shows a layered drink standing on a small wooden board placed on a white marbled surface. The bottom layer is white and creamy, topped by a thick dark brown chocolate layer. Above that is a smooth medium brown coffee layer, followed by a frothy light beige layer mixing slightly with the coffee below. The rim of the glass is coated in chocolate with crushed nuts sprinkled on top. In the blurred background, another similar glass and a golden spoon lay on the white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

5 ounces milk chocolate
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
7 ounces marshmallow fluff
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups ice
3/4 cup brewed coffee, cold
1/2 cup whole or 2% milk
1/4 cup vanilla syrup
1 to 2 tablespoons instant coffee or espresso powder (optional)
Graham cracker crumbs for topping

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the marshmallow whipped cream. Add the cold heavy cream to a stand mixer bowl fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Step 2: Add the marshmallow fluff and vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Beat again until stiff peaks form, being careful not to overbeat to avoid clumping or graininess.
Step 3: Make the chocolate sauce. Place milk chocolate and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
Step 4: Stir in the unsalted butter into the melted chocolate mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.
Step 5: Prepare the ice-blended coffee. Combine the cold brewed coffee, milk, vanilla syrup, ice, and optional instant coffee powder in a blender. Blend until thick and smooth.
Step 6: Assemble the frappuccino. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the marshmallow whipped cream into the bottom of a cup. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of chocolate sauce over it.
Step 7: Pour the blended coffee mixture over the chocolate sauce, leaving room at the top for more whipped cream.
Step 8: Top with another dollop of marshmallow whipped cream and sprinkle generously with graham cracker crumbs. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Tips & Variations

For a dairy-free version, substitute coconut cream for heavy cream and use dairy-free chocolate.
Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of vanilla syrup or marshmallow fluff to your taste.
Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the whipped cream for a warm spice twist.
If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, increase the instant espresso powder or use a bolder brewed coffee.

Storage

Because this frappuccino is best served fresh, it’s recommended to assemble and enjoy it immediately. The marshmallow whipped cream may lose its texture if stored. If you have leftovers, keep the whipped cream and chocolate sauce refrigerated separately for up to 2 days, and brew a fresh coffee base before assembling again.

How to Serve

Two tall clear glasses filled with a layered drink stand on a white marbled surface, each glass sitting on a small rectangular wooden board atop a white square coaster. Each glass has five visible layers from bottom to top: a dark brown layer, a light creamy beige layer, a medium brown layer, a thicker light beige frothy layer with some swirls, and a white creamy foam at the top. The rims of the glasses are coated with a crumbly golden-brown coating, with a small mound of the same coating sprinkled in the center of the foam. In the background, a white dish holds more of the crumbly topping, and a golden spoon lies nearby on the white marbled surface. The scene is softly lit with a blurred white cloth in the background.

FAQs

Can I make the marshmallow whipped cream ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the marshmallow whipped cream a few hours ahead and keep it refrigerated in an airtight container. Whisk lightly before serving if it starts to separate.

What kind of chocolate is best for the sauce?

Milk chocolate works best for a creamy, smooth sauce similar to Starbucks’ version, but you can use semi-sweet chocolate for a richer, less sweet flavor.
