Ingredients

• 2 cups strong coffee, chilled
• 2 cups whole milk
• ⅓ cup caramel syrup
• 4 cups ice
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• Whipped cream (optional for topping)
• Additional caramel syrup for drizzling (optional)

Kitchen Equipment Needed

• Blender
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Glasses for serving
• Spoon for drizzling caramel

Preparation

1. Blend the Base: In your blender, combine the chilled strong coffee, whole milk, caramel syrup, granulated sugar, and ice. The secret to a perfect frappuccino lies in the blend – you want the ice to be finely chopped, creating that signature frappuccino texture.
2. High-Speed Blending: Turn your blender to high and blend until the mixture is smooth and the ice is finely chopped. The blending process should not take too long; you want it to be quick yet thorough.
3. Serve with Flair: Pour the blended mixture into your chosen glasses. If you’re opting for that extra touch of decadence, top each glass with a generous dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel syrup. The contrast of the cool frappuccino with the creamy topping is divine.

Tips and Variations

• Coffee Choice: The stronger the coffee, the more pronounced the coffee flavor in your frappuccino. Consider using cold brew for an even richer coffee taste.
• Dairy Alternatives: Easily swap out whole milk with almond, soy, or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
• Sweetness Adjustment: Feel free to adjust the amount of caramel syrup based on your sweetness preference.

Storage

While this Caramel Frappuccino is best enjoyed fresh, if you find yourself with leftovers, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to a day. Give it a good stir or a quick blend before serving again.
