Instructions

How to make Cappuccino blast recipe: Copycat Baskin Robbin’s

  • In a blender, combine the strong coffee, milk, and sugar. Blend on medium speed for about 15 seconds, just until the sugar dissolves.
  • Add the ice cream and ice. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, like a copycat Baskin-Robbins Cappuccino Blast.
  • Pour into two 16-ounce glasses. For an extra touch, top each drink with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
  • This recipe makes 2 large drinks.

Mocha Version (Baskin-Robbins Mocha):

  • For a mocha twist, add 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup to the mixture and prepare as instructed above.
  • Caramel cappuccino blast recipe variation:
  • For a caramel drizzle twist, add 2 tablespoons of caramel syrup to the blender along with the coffee, milk, and sugar. Once blended and served, drizzle extra caramel sauce over the top of the whipped cream for a rich, sweet finish. This adds a delicious caramel flavor similar to popular café drinks!

One serving is approximately 420 calories.

Coffee tips:

Extra strong coffee: Brew extra-strong coffee in your coffee maker by using only half the amount of water recommended by the manufacturer. Let the coffee cool in the fridge before incorporating it into this recipe.
Tip for instant coffee: For a stronger flavor, dissolve double the amount of instant coffee in the same amount of water to intensify the taste.
