Lately, I’ve been tempted to join Foodbuzz’s Tastemaker program where bloggers can opt-in to try certain products, I was just waiting for the right offer. I’ve never been much of a joiner, in fact I’ve always been kind of a non-conformist and rebel at heart, this hasn’t always worked in my favor, but it’s definitely more interesting and blazing my own path has worked out OK for me 
This, and the fact that, since starting our own business, I prefer to avoid deadlines except those that are self-imposed, is why I hadn’t really participated in any of the Foodbuzz competitions or programs open to Featured Publishers.
When I received an email about an opportunity to receive two bags of Godiva premium flavored coffee and, given a month time frame, create an iced/blended coffee drink, I paused for just a second. I mean, why not? It’s Godiva for goodness sake – I love their chocolate - and Chocolate Truffle, Hazelnut Crème and/or French Vanilla inspired by their most popular truffles, say no more!
For our morning coffee, The Don and I prefer just straight-up good quality Hawaiian or Columbian coffee to jump start the day, but chocolate is one of the few sweets I indulge in – it is full of antioxidants after all, and I like concocting new beverages – whether they’re cocktails or smoothies, so I knew creating an iced coffee drink would be fun. I also received some valuable market trend info from my college girl who relayed that spiked coffee drinks are crazy popular with the college set, so all I had to do was decide on which of the two flavors to use (or both?) and how to jazz it up. So I hope you like this freaky good frozen frappe – lovingly concocted with the nutty flavors of the hazelnut creme coffee; my favorite liqueur, hazelnut flavored Frangelico, whose origin goes back 300 years to Franciscan monks of the northern Italian Piedmont region, so you know it’s heavenly 
and coconut milk.
Spiked Hazelnut Mocha Frappe
Recipe by Priscilla Willis | Yield: 2 servings
For coffee ice cubes:
2 tablespoons Godiva Hazelnut Creme coffee
2 cups water
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon (1 packet) coconut sugar
1½ cups light coconut milk, divided use
To make 2 drinks:
12 coffee ice cubes
½ cup light coconut milk
¼ cup Frangelico Hazelnut liqueur*
1 cup vanilla ice cream
Garnish: cinnamon powder and organic unsweetened coconut flakes
1. Brew 2 cups of Godiva Hazelnut Creme Coffee in your coffeemaker using 2 heaping tablespoons of coffee and 2 cups of water.
2. Transfer the 2 cups of freshly brewed coffee to a small saucepan. Whisk in the cocoa powder, coconut sugar and coconut milk. Cook over medium-high heat, whisking often, until the cocoa powder is dissolves, about 3 minutes. Remove pan from heat.
3. Pour into two ice cube trays – should fill 2 ice cube trays, about 24 ice cubes – enough to make 2 freezes and 2 more for another day
4. Allow the coffee ice cubes soften a bit. Put 12 ice cubes into a blender. Pour ½ cup coconut milk over. Add vanilla ice cream and Frangelico. Pulse until blended, stopping now and then to mix the ingredients with a long-handled spoon if necessary. Pour into two goblets or tall glasses, sprinkle with cinnamon and coconut flakes.
* Of course, the liqueur can be eliminated for a non-alcoholic or kid-friendly drink.
Enjoy
And, I can sense your curiosity – or maybe it’s the drooling – the perfect accompaniment to my afternoon delight is current obsession: B Toffee. Actually, toffee has been my favorite candy for a long time, when I go back “home” a stop to see Lana at Two Dumb Dames and scoop up a ounce or two of toffee to satisfy my vacation sweet tooth is always in order, but locally-made B. Toffee recently came into my life.
Disclosure: As part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program I received two bags of Godiva premium coffee.

I think you made a good choice in joining the Tastemaker program for this event
That frappe looks so refreshing. I prefer my coffee iced, but especially spiked and then made into a frozen drink is perfection.

I’ll do anything for Godiva products. How I wish our only Godiva shop hadn’t closed:( Your frape looks like the best way to start your day, but also a great afternoon pick-me-up. Okay now I’m really craving this. Drool:)
that sounds so GOOD P. I love the new look around her too!
When I was about 15 years younger, I used to drink mocha frappe without thinking second. I LOVE drinking it everyday. Not so much anymore as I worry more about my body shape, but once in a while I drink it as a treat. Now this one is a super treat! I love Godiva too and with the coconut flakes on top and all, this is a total winner. I rather want to drink this over cocktail! =P
