Nutella Coffee Frappe

Hi Everyone,

Need a mid-week pick me up?  If you do, I have the sweetest low-calorie coffee drink for you.  But first I have to tell you this was a tough recipe to make!  All the testing and tasting, boy do I have a tough job! It stinks to be me.  ha ha

I have to say, dam you Hilton hotel in Paris for having Nutella out next to all your gourmet pastries.  If it wasn’t for that darn hotel I would never of tried Nutella and now I am hooked, line and sinker!!

This weeks coffee drink is NOT made with Nutella, but it tastes like it!  I made it twice, first the tester and second was to make sure it was right!  The first version was made with chilled coffee and ice cubes.  Plus I used a Tully’s French Roast K-Cup Coffee.  It tasted wonderful!!  The coffee really makes it, so make sure you use the coffee you like.  To test it, I had my jar of Natella next to me so I can compare tastes.  Now this isn’t identical to Nutella because it has a slight coffee taste to it, but other than that, the taste is spot on. Here’s the picture from batch number 1 made with ice cubes.

The second batch I made I used Nescafe Decafe coffee that I took from the Hilton.  They were in my room, so I thought I would take a few home since I didn’t have any decaf instant coffee.  I will admit I like Tully’s French Roast coffee better than the Nescafe.  When I made this batch I used frozen coffee rather then ice cubed.  I like the consistency better because it’s more like a  Frappuccino.  The flavor is still spot on.  I think to make this drink even better, would be mixing the whip cream in to give it a richer, creamier flavor.  I did that after I took my pictures.  Oh it’s so good!!!

I made this coffee using imitation hazelnut extract that I picked up from my local grocery store.  To give it a chocolate taste I used 1 tablespoon, plus 1/2 teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder and for the creaminess I used non-fat milk and coconut milk.  To top it off I added Redi Whip fat Free Whip Cream and a drizzle of Nutella for a pretty look.  In the calorie count I did include the whip cream because I think it’s just perfect in this drink!

If you’re a fan of hazelnuts then this is the coffee for you.  Honestly I never likes hazelnut flavored coffee or syrups, yet I love Nutella.  It must be the chocolate in it?  I wanted to create this drink to be healthy and low-calorie and I think I succeeded.  It makes a little over 2 cups and comes in at 68 calories.  Not to shabby for a chocolate Frappe that tastes like Nutella.
