Scale
Ingredients
- 2 cups ice
- 1 cup strongly brewed black coffee, cooled
- 1 cup low-fat milk
- ⅓ cup caramel sauce
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
Instructions
- Brew Coffee: Brew 1 cup of strong black coffee and allow it to cool completely to avoid melting the ice too quickly in the next steps.
- Prepare Ingredients: Measure out 2 cups of ice, 1 cup of low-fat milk, ⅓ cup of caramel sauce, and 3 tablespoons of white sugar.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the cooled coffee, ice, low-fat milk, caramel sauce, and sugar. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and frothy, resembling the texture of a frappuccino.
- Serve: Pour the blended caramel frappuccino into a tall glass. You can optionally drizzle additional caramel sauce on top or add whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Use strongly brewed coffee or espresso for a rich flavor and to prevent a watered-down taste.
- Adjust the amount of sugar and caramel sauce to suit your preferred sweetness level.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute low-fat milk with almond, soy, or oat milk.
- To make it extra creamy, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream before blending.
- For a thicker frappuccino, add more ice or reduce the amount of coffee slightly.
