With this copycat caramel Frappuccino recipe, you can make the sweet treat at home – and save money in the long run! What Is a Frappuccino? Frappuccino is a type of blended coffee drink that is trademarked by Starbucks. Made with ice, coffee, and flavored syrups, the beverage's flavor and texture is somewhere between a milkshake and an iced coffee. The word "Frappuccino" is a combination of "lait frappe" (a type of French milkshake) and "cappuccino" (an espresso-based coffee drink with steamed milk). Caramel Frappuccino Ingredients You need just five ingredients to make this copycat Starbucks caramel Frappuccino recipe: IceIce is the base of this caramel Frappuccino recipe. Crushed ice is best (and more blender-friendly), but cubed ice will work too. Brewed CoffeeMake sure the coffee is strong so it's not overpowered by the other ingredients. Also, it's important to ensure the coffee is completely cooled so it doesn't melt the ice. MilkLow-fat milk, when combined with ice, creates an irresistible texture that's the perfect blend of creamy and icy. Caramel SauceIf you want to get fancy, drizzle the caramel sauce on the inside of the glass before you pour in the Frappuccino. SugarSweeten things up a bit with white sugar. This recipe, which makes two drinks, calls for three tablespoons – but you can adjust the sugar to suit your taste. 40 Coffee Shop Drinks and Treats You Can Make at Home How to Make a Caramel Frappuccino It couldn't be easier to make this 5-ingredient recipe!

Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise "Loved this recipe," raves Allrecipes Allstar Faith N. "We are over an hour away from the nearest Starbucks, between gas and the cost of the drinks themselves, it's a rare splurge for me to get one. This is my absolute favorite there and this recipe is pretty darn close." "I followed two different recipes for this, and the other was super disappointing," says Nerds n' Roses. "So, I was so happy when I tasted this and actually felt like I had just come from Starbucks! And it makes two, so I can share it or save the other for later! P.S. I stirred in sea salt to taste, then added sea salt and a drizzle of caramel on top of the whipped cream, and BAM! Salted Caramel Frappuccino!" "This recipe was amazing," according to one Allrecipes community member. "I made homemade caramel for it and it tasted amazing. Honestly better than Starbucks. Perfect blend of espresso and sweetness! Would totally recommend it." Editorial contributions by Corey Williams Cook Mode (Keep screen awake) Ingredients 1x 2x 4x Oops! Something went wrong.
