Ingredients
- 1 cup ice
- 1/2 cup brewed coffee or 1-2 espresso shots * See notes
- 1 cup milk I used unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 3 tablespoons caramel sauce divided
- 1/4 cup whipped cream
- 1 tablespoon caramel candy crushed, optional
Instructions
- In a high-speed blender, add the ice, coffee, milk, sugar, and two tablespoons of caramel sauce. Blend until completely combined.
- Transfer into two glasses and top with whipped cream, drizzle with the remaining caramel sauce, and sprinkle the crushed-up candy pieces.
Notes
* You can use two 30 ml shots of espresso (or two coffee pods). If you'd like this blended beverage to be caffeine free, use decaffeinated coffee.
TO STORE: This drink is best enjoyed fresh, but if desired, you could store it in an airtight container for 1-2 days. I suggest re-blending it before serving, just in case there’s any separation.
Make it vegan. Use dairy-free milk and vegan caramel, and substitute the whipped cream for coconut whipped cream.
Add salt. Make a salted caramel frappuccino by adding flaky salt to the drink and on top.
Skip the crunch. The crunch is definitely optional and can easily be omitted if you want a standard caramel frappuccino.
Serve it warm. Omit the ice and simmer the ingredients until warm, then serve warm with the garnish. It’s essentially a caramel latte, but it’s still delicious!
