Coco-Mocha Frappes

They say that 60% of the human body is comprised of water.  But in our house, I'm not so sure that's accurate.  I'd say our liquid make-up is split 30% water/30% coffee and this recipe is to blame.  I was very fortunate to receive a Mr. Coffee Café Frappe maker for Christmas this past year.  If you own one of these little wonders then this recipe will be a snap!  I've translated it below, so that they can be made by using a traditional coffee brewer and a blender.  Trust me when I say these are good, but also very addicting!!

Ingredients:
3 Tbsp. favorite coffee
1 cup water
2 cups ice
1 Tbsp. sugar
3 Tbsp. Coffee-mate Coconut Crème Coffee Creamer
2 Tbsp. Chocolate Syrup
Whipped Cream
Cocoa (for dusting)


Directions:
Use 3 Tbsp. coffee and 1 cup water in your coffee brewer to make double-strength coffee.  Measure out     1/2 cup and discard or save the rest for another purpose.

Add ingredients to the blender in this order:  ice, sugar, creamer, syrup and brewed coffee.  Blend until smooth and frothy.  Top with whipped cream and dust with cocoa, if desired.
