Transcript: Penny's Delight Frappe

Hi, I'm Greg Suekoff with Caffe Pronto for About.com Food. I'm here at the Ultimate Barista Challenge, and I'm going to show you how to make a Penny's Delight.

Penny's Delight is a frozen drink, a frappe made with espresso and fresh apples. It's sort of a more refreshing version of an espresso frappe, and it's good all year round.

Penny's Delight Espresso Frappe Ingredients

To create Penny's Delight you're going to need:
  • 2 granny smith apples, peeled and cored
  • 50cc (2oz.) frappe powder
  • 35 cc (1 oz.) brown sugar
  • caramel sauce
  • 4 scoops of vanilla ice cream
  • ice
  • dash of cinnamon
  • 8 shots espresso
  • whip cream for a topping

Cut the Apples

So to prepare a Penny's Delight you're going to need two granny smith apples. You're going to want to peel them, core them, and chop them into four pieces.

Garnish the Frappe Glass

To prepare your glass for the drink, you're going to want to take it and rub it along half of an apple to get it moist and then rim the glass with cinnamon. At this time it's also a good idea to slice a few apples as a garnish. Put a little slit in it to put it around the glass.

Prepare the Espresso

After that you're going to need to pour eight shots of espresso. You'll want the pour to take between 20-30 seconds to accentuate the body and acidity. You'll want to add the shots to the blender.

Mix the Frappe

Then you're going to want to add an emulsifier, whether its ice cream or a frappe powder. I use a little of both, brown sugar, a dash of cinnamon, caramel, ice, and then blend till smooth. Then you'll want to pour the drinks, add a little bit of whip cream. Garnish with cinnamon on top of the whip cream.

Add a slice of red apple around the rim, and serve it with a straw. And that's how you make a Penny's Delight. Enjoy.
