How To Make Ninja Creami Copycat McDonald’s Frappe Recipe

Step 1: In a Creami pint container, combine the coffee, milk, chocolate syrup, sugar, and vanilla (if using). Stir well until fully mixed.

Step 2: Seal the container and freeze on a level surface for 24 hours until completely solid.

Step 3: Remove the pint from the freezer, place it in the outer bowl, and lock in the Creami lid. Run the “Milkshake” or “Soft Serve” function (depending on your model). If needed, respin once for the perfect frappe texture.

Step 4: Scoop into a glass, top with whipped cream, and drizzle with extra chocolate syrup.

Ninja Creami Copycat McDonald’s Frappe Recipe Tips

• Use chilled, strong-brewed coffee: Brew your coffee in advance and let it cool completely before mixing. For a bolder frappe, use espresso or cold brew.
• Don’t skip the 24-hour freeze: The Ninja Creami needs the base to be fully solid to achieve that perfect icy texture.
• Run a re-spin if needed: If the texture is too icy or crumbly after the first cycle, just run a second spin—it smooths everything out perfectly.
• Adjust sweetness to your taste: Like it sweeter? Add more sugar or flavored creamer. Want less? Start with 1 teaspoon and taste as you go.
• Top it like the real thing: A swirl of whipped cream and drizzle of chocolate syrup makes it feel just like a drive-thru treat—but better!

Storing Instructions

If you have leftovers, smooth out the top and return the mixture to the freezer in the Ninja Creami pint container. When ready to enjoy again, simply reprocess using the “Milkshake” or “Re-spin” function until smooth and creamy. Best enjoyed within 1–2 weeks for optimal texture and flavor.

Ninja Creami Copycat McDonald’s Frappe Recipe FAQs

Can I use decaf coffee instead of regular? Absolutely! Decaf works just as well if you want to enjoy your frappe without the caffeine buzz.

What setting should I use on the Ninja Creami? Use the “Milkshake” or “Soft Serve” setting, depending on your model. If the texture isn’t creamy enough, use the Re-Spin function.

Can I make it without chocolate syrup? Yes! You can swap in caramel syrup for a caramel frappe, or leave it out for a stronger coffee-forward flavor.

How long should I freeze the base? Freeze for a full 24 hours to ensure it’s solid enough for the Creami to process properly.

Can I make this dairy-free? Definitely! Use your favorite dairy-free milk (like almond, oat, or soy) and a dairy-free whipped topping if desired.
