A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

common recipe questions
Can I use brewed coffee instead of espresso?
Yes, you can use strongly brewed coffee as an alternative to espresso. Just make sure it's chilled before blending.
Is there a dairy-free version of this drink?
For a dairy-free version, substitute the milk with almond milk, coconut milk, or any other plant-based milk of your choice.
Can I add sweetness to this frappe?
If you prefer a sweeter frappe, try adding a tablespoon of sugar, chocolate syrup, or vanilla syrup to the blender before processing.
How can I make this frappe thicker?
For a thicker consistency, add more ice or frozen cubes of coffee or milk. You can also add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a creamier texture.
What's the best way to crush the Oreos for garnish?
Place the Oreos in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin to gently crush them, or pulse them a few times in a food processor.
Can I make this frappe ahead of time?
It's best enjoyed immediately after blending to maintain its texture. However, you can prepare the espresso or coffee ahead of time and keep it chilled.
Can I use flavored coffee or espresso?
Yes, using flavored coffee or espresso, such as vanilla or hazelnut, can add an interesting twist to the frappe.

This is so addicting. And you can taste the coffee of course but I always forget I'm drinking caffeine and have too many of these. Maybe I should switch to decaf then i can double the recipe!
