Starbuck's Frozen Frappuccino

Here are the Frozen Frappuccino recipe.
The Frappuccino is blended with strong coffee, sugar, a dairy base, and ice. Make double-strength coffee by measuring 2 tablespoons of ground coffee per cup (serving) in your coffee maker. The copy will be even more authentic if you use Starbucks beans and grind them yourself just before brewing.

Coffee

• 3/4 cup double-strength coffee, cold
• 1 cup low-fat milk
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 cups ice

1. Make double-strength coffee by brewing with twice the coffee required by your coffee maker. That should be 2 tablespoons of ground coffee per each cup of coffee. Chill before using.
2. To make the drink, combine all ingredients in a blender and blend on high speed until ice is crushed and drink is smooth. Pour into two 16-ounce glasses, and serve with a straw.
Makes 2 large drinks.

Mocha Coconut Frappuccino

Here are the Mocha Coconut Frappuccino.
Like a cold Mounds bar in a cup with a caffeine kick thrown in for extra buzz. Find shredded coconut in the baking aisle and toast 1/2 cup of it (store the leftover coconut in the fridge). You'll use most of the toasted coconut in the blender, but save a little for the garnish when the drinks are done.

1/2 cup shredded coconut
3/4 cup double strength coffee
1 cup low-fat milk
1/3 cup Hershey's chocolate syrup
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 cups ice
Garnish: whipped cream

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Spread shredded coconut on a baking sheet and toast coconut in the oven. Stir the coconut around every 10 minutes or so for even browning. After 25 to 30 minutes the shredded coconut should be light brown. Cool it off.
2. Make double-strength coffee by brewing with twice the coffee required by your coffeemaker. That should be 2 tablespoons of ground coffee per each cup of coffee. Chill before using.
3. To make the drinks, combine cold coffee, milk, 1/3 cup of the toasted coconut, 1/3 cup chocolate syrup, and sugar in a blender. Blend for 15 to 20 seconds to dissolve sugar.
