Cherry Mocha Frappuccino?

Hey guys! So if you've seen the Homemade Caramel Frappuccino recipe, this one is similar except... I'M GOING TO EXPERIMENT WITH IT!!! It's almost Valentine's Day (my birthday), and the new Starbucks flavor is Cherry Mocha, but it doesn't agree with my diet... SO, I'm going to try to make a sugar free version, even though I haven't tried the one they have, and see if it works. Here's the recipe I'm using as a base:

1 1/2 cup Crushed Ice

1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk

1/4 cup Heavy Whipping Cream

1 packet Starbucks VIA Ready to Brew Coffee or 1 tsp. Instant Espresso Powder

10 drops Liquid Stevia Extract (I use stevia vanilla)

1/4 tsp Caramel Flavour (unless you used caramel flavored coffee)

Lightly Sweetened Whipped Cream for topping

Instructions:

In a high powered blender, blend it all together until smoothed, then top with whipped cream.

Serves 1-2

*may need less ice.

 

Here's how I'm adjusting it:

 

1 1/2 cup Crushed Ice

1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk

1/4 cup Heavy Whipping Cream

1 packet Starbucks VIA Ready to Brew Coffee or 1 tsp. Instant Espresso Powder

10 drops Liquid Stevia Extract (I use stevia vanilla)

1/4 tsp Imitation Cherry Extract

1/2 tsp. Cocoa Powder or less

Lightly Sweetened Whipped Cream for topping

Instructions:

In a high powered blender, blend it all together until smoothed, then top with whipped cream.

Serves 1-2

*may need less ice.

 

Should be simple enough, right? I'll talk about it during the sun hours (this was posted at 2:00 am, at this rate I'll need the double serving!).
