Ingredients
Scale
Liquid Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled (strong coffee or espresso preferred)
- 1/2 cup milk (whole milk or any plant-based milk of your choice)
- 2 tablespoons caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Dry Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, adjust for sweetness)
Other
- 1 cup ice
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Additional caramel sauce for drizzling on top
Instructions
- Prepare the Coffee: Brew a strong cup of coffee or espresso and allow it to cool completely. This ensures your frappe will be refreshing and not diluted by melting ice.
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the cooled coffee, ice, milk, caramel sauce, and sugar if using. The caramel adds rich sweetness and a buttery flavor to the drink.
- Blend until Smooth: Blend all the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and frothy with no ice chunks remaining, creating a creamy, thick frappe consistency.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the blended caramel frappe into a tall glass. Top generously with whipped cream and drizzle extra caramel sauce over the whipped cream for added flavor and an attractive presentation.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing homemade caramel frappe.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar and caramel sauce to suit your taste.
- For a dairy-free option, use almond milk, oat milk, or any plant-based milk instead of whole milk.
- To make it more indulgent, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream before blending.
- Ensure the coffee is fully cooled to avoid melting the ice too quickly and diluting the drink.
- You can prepare homemade caramel sauce in advance using sugar, butter, and cream for a fresh caramel flavor.
