Equipment

  • Blender
  • Serving glasses

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Add the chilled or frozen coffee, milk, 3 tablespoons caramel sauce, sugar, vanilla extract, ice cubes, and your chosen creamy booster into your blender. Secure the lid tightly.
  2. Step 2: Start blending on a lower setting, then increase to high speed. Blend for 45 to 60 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth with no icy chunks and looks thick and frothy.
  3. Step 3: Drizzle extra caramel sauce around the inside walls of your serving glass(es). Pour the blended Caramel Frappuccino into the prepared glass(es). Top with a swirl of whipped cream and an additional drizzle of caramel sauce. Serve immediately.

Notes

Tips for success include using strong, chilled or frozen coffee and blending thoroughly. Adjust sweetness and caramel flavor to your liking. This drink is best enjoyed immediately; storing it in the fridge will cause separation as the ice melts.
