Frappés & milkshakes
Iced coffee frappé
Coffee-shop style frozen coffee from strong coffee, milk and sugar, on the Frappé setting.
- Batch
- about 1.5 litres
- Serves
- 6 × 250 ml
- Setting
- Ninja SLUSHi: Frappé · Tower Slushie Fusion: Frappe
A frappé is creamier than a slush because of the milk. Dairy changes the rules a little: Ninja’s “frozen for up to 12 hours” claim is for recipes without dairy, so serve this one promptly.
Ingredients
- 600 ml strong coffee, cooled
- 900 ml whole or semi-skimmed milk
- 120 g caster sugar
Allergens to watch: Milk. Always check the labels of the brands you use.
Method
- Dissolve the sugar in the hot coffee, then let it cool completely.
- Stir in the milk and chill in the fridge.
- Pour into the machine below the maximum fill line.
- Run the Frappé setting (Milkshake or Frappe on other machines).
- Serve straight away, and clean the vessel soon after.
Sugar check
120 g of sugar in 1,500 ml is 8 g per 100 ml from the added sugar, plus the milk’s own sugar.
Tips
- Contains caffeine — not one for children.
- Use a flavoured coffee syrup instead of some of the sugar if you like.
- Don’t leave dairy slushes running all day: serve, then clean.

Cola & fizzy
Cola slush
The simplest slush there is: pour in a full-sugar cola and press start. Diet cola won’t work — here’s why.
