The season for iced drinks is fast approaching, and the new Cocoa-Fruit Frappé from Knoops might just be all you’ll need for the summer. A twist on the chocolate café’s customisable chocolate menu, this new addition is as delicious as it is unique, using the fruit’s pulp rather than the cocoa beans that Knoops’ signature beverages are derived from.
The brand new beverage is 100% vegan and naturally dairy-free, and is available throughout the UK alongside the regular Knoops menu of favourites, as the British brand continues to revolutionise chocolate drinks with its unique and completely customisable chocolate % menu.
While its name references ‘cocoa’, the similarity with chocolate ends there. Unlike chocolate, the Cocoa-Fruit Frappé isn’t made from beans, but from the fruit pulp that surrounds them, which delivers delicious notes of lychee and pear.
The pump makes up around a quarter of a cocoa pod’s volume, and is usually overlooked by chocolate makers. Knoops, being an industry innovator, has found a way to harness the pump and turn it into the base for its new Frappé. It means less food waste, a new, sustainable income stream for growers, and a refreshing new drink to quench our summer thirst.
Knoops continues to bring a unique flavour to the café scene, being the only brand to offer a customisable chocolate % menu, and to continue to develop the art of crafting the perfect chocolate drinks – also known as Knoopology, couned by brand founder Jens Knoop.
The brand is all about offering complete choice to its customers. Knoops offers over 20 different chocolate %s (from 28% White to 100% Extra Dark), nine dairy and plant-based milks, and over 20 extras, including sea salt, orange zest, chilli, and cinnamon. Drinks can be poured as a smooth hot chocolate, over cold milk and ice for an iced chocolate, or blended with ice cream for a deliciously thick milkshake.
Along with the new Cocoa-Fruit Frappé, Knoops continues to make drinking chocolate a memorable and joyful experience for its fans, with different drink choices for every mood and appetite.
The Cocoa-Fruit Frappé, priced from £5.35, is now available at Knoops stores nationwide. Find your local chocolate café right here.
