Ingredients

  • 1 cup of strong-brewed coffee make sure it’s chilled
  • 1 cup of ice cubes
  • ½ cup of milk your choice of whole, almond, or oat
  • 3 tablespoons of caramel sauce plus extra for drizzling on top
  • 1-2 tablespoons of sugar optional; adjust based on your sweet tooth.
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream for topping

Instructions

  • Prepare the coffee: Start by brewing a strong cup of coffee. Let it chill in the fridge or freezer for about 10–15 minutes. The cooler temperature is crucial for keeping your frappuccino frothy and delicious.
  • Blend Your Ingredients: In your blender, combine the chilled coffee, ice cubes, milk (whether whole, almond, or oat), caramel sauce, vanilla extract, and sugar if you like it sweeter. Blend until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. You’ll love the creamy texture and the way the ingredients meld together.
  • Taste and Adjust: Take a taste and decide if it needs more sweetness. If so, add a bit more caramel or sugar and blend again. This is where you can really make the frappuccino your own.
  • Serve with Style: Pour the frappuccino into a glass and top it off with a generous dollop of whipped cream. For an extra special touch, drizzle additional caramel sauce on top. It’s all about that café-style presentation!
  • Enjoy: Grab a straw and savor your homemade caramel frappuccino. It’s the perfect way to treat yourself, whether you’re unwinding after a long day or starting your morning off right.

Notes

For the best results, make sure your coffee is thoroughly chilled before blending. This helps to maintain the frappuccino’s creamy texture and prevents the ice from melting too quickly. Feel free to experiment with different types of milk or adjust the sweetness to match your personal preference. Enjoy your homemade caramel frappuccino as a special treat or a delightful everyday indulgence!
