Introduction

This 10-Minute Tofu Coffee Frappuccino is a creamy, refreshing twist on the classic iced coffee treat. Using silken tofu adds a smooth texture and a boost of protein, making it a delicious and satisfying pick-me-up. Perfect for coffee lovers looking for a quick, dairy-free option.

A glass mason jar filled with a smooth, creamy chocolate brown smoothie sits on a white tray with a simple handle on one side. A red and white striped straw sticks out from the top of the jar, which has a slight frothy texture on surface. Next to the jar, there is a wooden spoon resting on the tray, holding a small pile of rich brown cocoa powder with some scattered around it. The background is a soft blue color with a white marbled texture beneath the tray. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 cup strong coffee, chilled
1 ½ cups ice
1 cup silken tofu (about 250 g)
2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 Tbsp brown sugar or sugar-free sweetener
¼ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 2: In a blender, combine the chilled coffee, ice, silken tofu, cocoa powder, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
Step 3: Adjust the consistency by adding more ice if desired, then blend again briefly to mix.
Step 4: Pour into glasses and serve immediately for a refreshing coffee treat.

Tips & Variations

For a sweeter frappuccino, increase the sugar or add a splash of flavored syrup like caramel or hazelnut.
Use decaf coffee if you want to enjoy this drink later in the day without caffeine.
Freeze leftover frappuccino in ice cube trays and blend with a little milk for an easy frozen coffee snack later.
Substitute the silken tofu with a plant-based yogurt for a different texture and flavor.

Storage

Store any leftover frappuccino in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. To reuse, thaw frozen cubes slightly and reblend with a splash of milk to refresh the texture.

FAQs

Can I use regular tofu instead of silken tofu?

Silken tofu is best for this recipe because it blends smoothly and creates a creamy texture. Regular tofu is firmer and may result in a grainy frappuccino.

How do I make strong coffee for this recipe?

Use twice the usual amount of coffee grounds compared to your normal brew strength. This ensures the coffee flavor stays bold even after blending with ice and other ingredients.
