Java Chip Frappe-Style Drink

Mini chocolate chips stay as tiny crisp flecks instead of disappearing completely, which distinguishes this drink from a plain blended mocha. Pulse them only after the coffee base is smooth. Frozen coffee cubes reduce dilution, and a pinch of xanthan gum helps suspend the chips rather than letting them collect at the bottom.
