Easy Caramel Frappuccino
A Caramel Frappuccino is a blended iced coffee drink made with coffee, milk, caramel syrup, and ice, then topped with whipped cream and caramel drizzle.
Equipment
Ingredients
For the Frappe
- 6 cups 2% milk (or whole milk if you prefer a richer flavor)
- ½ cups leftover hot coffee or hot water
- 4 tablespoons Nescafé Clásico Dark Roast (for a stronger taste, add more coffee; for milder, add less)
- 4 tablespoons light brown sugar , adjust to taste
- 1 teaspoon maple extract or pure vanilla extract
- Caramel sauce , as needed
- Whipped cream , optional
- Ice cubes , as needed
Instructions
- In a 2-cup liquid measuring cup, dissolve the Nescafé and sugar in the leftover hot coffee or hot water.
- Add the dissolved coffee and sugar mixture, maple extract, and milk to a blender. Do not rinse the measuring cup—use it as is to use any leftover mixture clinging to it.
- Blend briefly to combine. Do not overblend, as this can create excess foam.
- Let the blended frappe sit for a few minutes. The foam will naturally rise to the top and begin to settle.
- Drizzle caramel sauce inside 8 (16-ounce) glasses.
- Fill each glass with ice and pour in the coffee mixture.
- Top with whipped cream and an extra drizzle of caramel sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
Storage: Store the coffee base (without ice) in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Make Ahead: Blend the base in advance and refrigerate. Stir before serving and pour over fresh ice.
Freezing: Not recommended.
