Mocha Frappuccino - Low Fat

Everybody likes Mocha Frappuccino! But not everyone want to shell out P150 bucks for a big cup of it... so I though I'd try and see if I can "copy" Starbucks' biggest selling drink and make it at home =)

Here's what I found around the web

You will need:

2 tablespoons water
1/2 tablespoon instant coffee
1 teaspoon sugar
20 ice cubes
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
1/3 cup refrigerated aerosol fat-free whipped topping

In a small microwavable bowl or cup, combine the water and coffee. Microwave on high for 1 minute, or until the water is hot enough to dissolve the coffee. Add the sugar. Stir until the coffee and sugar are dissolved. Transfer to a mixing bowl. Add six ice cubes. Stir to accelerate melting the ice. Pour into a blender. Add enough ice cubes for the liquid to reach the 16-ounce (2 cup) marker on the blender jar. Blend on high speed for 30 to 60 seconds, or until just slushy. Pour into a 16-ounce (2 cup) tumbler. Top with whipped topping. Serves one.
