INGREDIENTS THAT YOU’LL NEED

Let’s get this straight: you don’t need a whole lot of ingredients and equipment to quench your thirst this time. So, Let’s gather our basic ingredients real quick and start brewing!

1. BREWED COFFEE: You’ll need 60 ml of strongly brewed coffee to make this. You can brew your regular coffee using a French press, Moka pot, or whatever you have. Also, if you really like that caffeinated kick, you can go for an espresso shot or two—that’s totally up to you.

2. CARAMEL SAUCE: Although nothing beats homemade caramel sauce, you can use store-bought sauce or syrup for convenience.

3. MILK: You’ll need 250 ml of milk for this recipe. You can go with whatever you prefer—full fat, low fat, cream, 4%, 2%, soy, almond, or any other type of milk you like. For this one, we’re using full-fat milk to make it extra creamy.

4. ICE CUBES: You will need a handful of ice cubes. If you really want that chewy, smooth texture, you can add coffee cubes.

5. SUGAR OR SWEETENER: You can add sugar or any sweetener.

6. WHIPPED CREAM: You can add a squirt of whipped cream to serve and topping it off.

EASY HOMEMADE CARAMEL SAUCE

Making caramel sauce at home is easy; you probably already have the ingredients in your kitchen! All you need is sugar, butter, and heavy cream.

Start by adding one cup of sugar to a saucepan over medium heat. Stir it constantly with a spoon until the sugar melts into a smooth, golden liquid. Once that happens, add the butter, stirring until fully combined with the melted sugar. Next, pour in 1/2 cup of heavy cream while continuing to stir. The mixture will bubble up, but keep stirring until it comes together into a smooth, creamy caramel sauce. Once it’s done, let the sauce cool down for a few minutes, then transfer it to a jar. You can store it in the fridge for weeks.

MAKING EASY CARAMEL FRAPPE AT HOME

Now that you’ve got all your ingredients ready let’s whip up this delicious caramel frappe at home!

1)BREW YOUR COFFEE: The key to a great frappe is strong coffee. So, brew 60 ml of strong coffee using whatever you’ve got—a drip machine, French press, AeroPress, or even a Moka pot. Once it’s brewed, just let it cool down before moving on. If you want a smoother, sweeter caramel frappe, go ahead and use your cold brew.

2) BLEND THE INGREDIENTS: Once your coffee’s ready, pour it into the blender. Then, add your milk of choice—whatever you prefer works! If you like it on the sweeter side, toss in 4-5 tablespoons of caramel sauce. Now, throw in a cup of ice and blend everything until it’s thick and slushy, like a milkshake.

3) SERVE AND ENJOY: Once it’s all blended, it’s time to serve! Drizzle some caramel sauce around the inside of your glass before pouring it into the frappe. Then, top it off with a bit of whipped cream and another drizzle of caramel sauce. And there you go—a super easy, super delicious frappe!
