Ingredients
Scale
Liquid Ingredients
- 12 oz. strong black coffee (340 grams, chilled if possible)
- ½ cup caramel creamer (114 grams)
- ½ cup milk of your choice (114 grams, or skim milk)
Other Ingredients
- 3 cups ice (adjust to preference)
- Whipped cream or frozen whipped topping, for garnish
- Caramel sauce, for drizzling
Instructions
- Blend the Base: In a large blender, combine the strong black coffee, caramel creamer, milk, and ice. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and frothy with no large ice chunks remaining.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the blended frappe into two tall glasses. Top each glass generously with whipped cream or frozen whipped topping, then drizzle caramel sauce over the whipped cream for an extra indulgent finish.
Notes
- For best flavor, chill the brewed coffee before blending to ensure a cold and refreshing frappe.
- Adjust the ice quantity to your preferred frappe thickness — add more ice for a thicker texture or less for a lighter consistency.
- You can substitute caramel creamer with vanilla or hazelnut creamer if preferred, though this will alter the flavor.
- Use any type of milk you like, including almond, soy, or oat milk for dairy-free options.
- If you want a less sweet frappe, reduce the amount of caramel creamer or caramel sauce drizzle.
- For a quick version, use instant coffee prepared strong and chilled.
