S'mores Frappe

by Brooke Gruwell

A Showstopping Café Drink Your Customers Will Actually Stop to Photograph.

The S’mores Frappe is a campfire classic reimagined as a blended café drink — rich mocha at its base, layered with marshmallow fluff, crushed graham crackers, and chocolate, and finished with a garnish that makes it one of the most visually striking drinks on any summer menu. Built on the MOCAFE™ Original Mocha Frappe Mix, this recipe delivers deep, chocolatey coffee flavor in every sip. For café owners, it’s the kind of signature drink that generates social media posts, drives repeat visits, and commands a premium price point without complicated prep.

Ingredients

MOCAFE™ Original Mocha Frappe Mix — 2 scoops
6 oz. milk or milk alternative
12 oz. ice

Decoration

Whipped cream
Marshmallow fluff
Chocolate sauce
Graham crackers, crushed and whole
Piece of chocolate (for garnish)
Marshmallows on a skewer (optional but highly recommended for presentation)

How to Make the S’mores Frappe

Add 6 oz. of milk, 2 scoops of MOCAFE™ Original Mocha Frappe Mix, and 12 oz. of ice to your blender.
Blend until smooth.
Take a spoonful of marshmallow fluff and coat the inside of your cup, swirling it around the bottom and sides.
Pour the blended frappe halfway into the cup.
Crush a few graham crackers and layer them on top of the first half.
Pour in the rest of the frappe and top with whipped cream.
Decorate the top with a piece of graham cracker, a piece of chocolate, and a marshmallow skewer. Drizzle chocolate sauce over everything.

Pro Tip: The Marshmallow Fluff Technique

Coat the cup before you pour — not after. Swirling the fluff first means it clings to the inside of the cup, visible through the glass and throughout every sip. A light drizzle of chocolate sauce on the inside of the cup before the fluff adds another visual layer.

Flavor Profile

The S’mores Frappe leads with the deep, rich chocolate and coffee of the MOCAFE Original Mocha base — bold, smooth, and satisfying. The marshmallow fluff adds a sticky sweetness that lingers through the drink, while the graham cracker layer gives a subtle honey-and-grain crunch that grounds everything. The garnish — chocolate, graham cracker, marshmallow skewer — makes it look as good as it tastes. It’s a dessert-forward drink that feels indulgent without being heavy.

Café Tips for Serving

Position as a seasonal signature or limited-time offering — the garnish makes it a natural social media driver that markets itself.
Pre-portion crushed graham crackers and have marshmallow fluff scoops ready during rush hours to keep build time fast.
Price it at a premium — the layered build and garnish justify a higher ticket, and customers expect to pay more for a visually elevated drink.
A toasted marshmallow on the skewer (using a kitchen torch) is an easy upgrade that adds drama and supports a higher menu price.
Works as a dessert drink pairing alongside baked goods — a s’mores cookie or brownie pairing is an easy upsell.

S’mores Frappe FAQ

What does the S’mores Frappe taste like?

Rich, chocolatey, and sweet — with a smooth mocha coffee base, sticky marshmallow sweetness, and a graham cracker crunch. It tastes like a s’more and a blended coffee drink in the same cup.

Does it contain caffeine?

Yes. The MOCAFE™ Original Mocha Frappe Mix contains Colombian coffee, so this drink does contain caffeine.

Can I make it dairy-free?

Yes. Swap dairy milk for oat milk, almond milk, or soy milk. Check that your marshmallow fluff brand is dairy-free as well — most standard versions are, but it’s worth confirming for customers with allergies.

Can I simplify the decoration for high-volume service?

Yes. The base drink — mocha frappe with marshmallow fluff and graham cracker crumble — is fast to build. Save the full garnish (skewer, chocolate piece, whole graham cracker) for slower periods or premium menu positioning.
