Are you looking for a beverage dessert? Enjoy an easy-to-make Caramel Frappuccino at home with ingredients from your kitchen pantry.
People go to Starbucks because of the convenience, love for the brand, and delicious dessert beverages, such as the Frappuccinos. They are especially great during the summer months. However, the drink is tricky to replicate at home because it needs a special ingredient to make the ice smooth and cohesive. But there is one ingredient that almost everybody has in their kitchen. So, today we are going to make an easy Caramel Frappuccino at home.
How do you make a Caramel Frappuccino?
Here’s what you will need:
Ingredients:
- Milk – 2% or whole milk will give the drink a richer flavor and full-bodied texture.
- Javy Coffee – A great ready-made strong coffee concentrate.
- Vanilla Pudding Powder – Sweetens the drink and also acts as an emulsifier.
- Ice – One of the main ingredients, and you can add more to make the drink icier.
- Caramel Sauce – Adds a strong and richer flavor.
- Vanilla Syrup – Sweetens the whipped cream.
- Heavy Whipping Cream – The main ingredient to make the whipped cream.
Instructions:
Caramel Frappuccino
Pour the milk, coffee concentrate, vanilla pudding powder, ice, and caramel sauce into the blender. Blend all the ingredients and until the ice is crushed. Once everything is blended, pour the caramel frappuccino into a glass cup. Top with whipped cream and caramel drizzle. Serve and enjoy!
Homemade Whipped Cream
Pour the vanilla syrup and heavy whipping cream into a whipped cream dispenser. Charge the dispenser with the N2O charger. Let it rest, and then serve.
FAQ
Does Caramel Frappuccino have coffee in it?
Yes, they do; usually, they are made with a few pumps of concentrated coffee called frapp roast in stores. However, you can order them without the caffeine, and it’s a perfect dessert drink for kids to have.
This recipe is made with concentrated coffee from Javy Coffee. Adding the right amount will make the drink taste very similar to Starbucks. But you can opt not to include coffee concentrate if you make a Caramel Creme Frappuccino (a Starbucks Frappuccino without the frapp roast).
Is Caramel Frappuccino cold or hot?
You can only make this drink cold. A hot version would be made as a hot caramel latte.
What is the difference between an iced latte and a frappuccino?
The ingredients in a frappuccino need to be blended and require more ice. The ingredients in a latte are combined and require fewer ice cubes.
What is Javy Coffee?
I used a coffee concentrate from Javy Coffee. It’s made with Artisan roasted 100% arabica beans. The company uses a combination of thermal blends to roast the beans to complete perfection while retaining flavor, all without burning the coffee beans. I thought this product was wonderful because it saves you the extra step of preparing the coffee ingredient needed to make the drink. It is also similar to what Starbucks uses, a concentrated coffee liquid called frapp roast. Use my coupon code YMT15 to save extra dollars upon checkout if you think of trying it, Javy Coffee.
Can you freeze the leftovers?
Yes, this is a great way to make a frappuccino quickly. Just defrost the leftovers for five minutes or so before pouring them into the blender.
Fun fact:
A Frappuccino is a blended drink that is a trademark by Starbucks.
