Orange Chocolate Frappe Using Godiva Chocolate Truffle Coffee

When my family and I got back from our Kansas vacation last Tuesday, I found a brown box awaiting by our front door, and this is what's inside it --- a gift pack from Godiva!


Opening the box, I found not just one, but two bags of Godiva Coffee! Thanks to Godiva and Foodbuzz for sending me these as part of Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program.


I must admit that though I am from Batangas (where the world class Kapeng Barako comes from), I am not much of a coffee drinker. Unlike other Batangueños who drink coffee from morning 'til night, I only drink coffee occasionally, and I don't like it hot. I only drink cold coffee i.e., plain iced coffee, frappes or smoothies. 

Seeing Godiva French Vanilla and Chocolate Truffle Coffee in the box made me so excited to give myself a treat. Just the aroma of it makes me crave for coffee. The next day, I immediately tried using the Godiva French Vanilla Coffee for a very refreshing iced coffee, the recipe of which I got from Godiva Coffee's Recipe page. I tell you, it tasted really good! Godiva's French Vanilla Coffee has a rich vanilla flavor which combined with milk, a little sugar and ice makes a very good cooler! I'm sorry that I wasn't able to take pictures of it because of the tons of laundry I was doing that time. But let me make it up to you by sharing with you the Orange Chocolate Frappe I made yesterday using Godiva Chocolate Truffle Coffee.


I've always loved the combination of chocolate and orange, and that is what inspired me to prepare this very soothing treat! And as the natural chocolate aroma of Godiva Chocolate Truffle wafted through the air as it brews, I realized how perfect it would be for  my Orange Chocolate Frappe! And when I tasted it, it proved me right! Godiva's blend is so delicious, creamy, and truly so chocolatey which when combined with orange will truly make a very delightful treat!

Ingredients:
  • 1 ½ cups brewed Godiva® Chocolate Truffle Coffee, cooled to room temperature 
  • ½  cup orange marmalade
  • 2 Tbsp fresh orange juice
  • ½  cup chocolate sundae syrup
  • 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
  • 1 cup ice
  • orange slices for garnish
Procedure:

1. Place ice and coffee in blender. Turn the blender on and off quickly a few times to break the ice.

2. Add orange marmalade, orange juice, chocolate syrup and ice cream. Blend until smooth. 

3. Pour into two 18-oz glasses. Garnish each glass with a slice of orange if desired. Serve immediately.


*To make 1 ½ cups brewed coffee: Measure 4 Tbsp Godiva® Chocolate Truffle Coffee and 2 cups water into a drip coffeemaker.

Aside from French Vanilla and Chocolate Truffle, Godiva Coffee comes in three other flavors: Breakfast Blend, Caramel and Hazelnut Creme. They are all available in local grocery stores and you can visit Godiva Coffee's grocery store locator to check the closest to you!  

If you are into flavored coffee, you should really try Godiva Coffee! It may be a little expensive than other brands but with its very good quality, as well as its distinct and intense taste, I must say it's all worth it! All flavors come in pretty packages so they would make wonderful gifts too!

  7. Oh I'm a coffee-addict and needs my dosage everyday after washing up! I love my coffee either very hot or very cold so whenever I can't finish my coffee in the morning (I've got a very big mug!), I'll put it in the fridge and have a cuppa ice coffee later in the day! :D
    Mmm... chocolate and orange sounds good! I must try it! ^.^
