Caramel Frappuccino Ingredients
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
- Espresso: I used Brazilian coffee beans to make the espresso. It is important to use good-quality coffee beans, as they will affect the flavor of the frappe.
- Caramel: Use shop-bought caramel, which is normally sold in a jar or make the caramel from scratch.
- Milk: Add the milk of your choice to this frappe. For a vegan option, use any plant-based milk. Some great options include almond milk, oat milk, and coconut milk.
- Ice: Use ice cubes or crushed ice.
- Sweetener: Feel free to add any sweetener you have on hand. I use sugar as a sweetener.
- Whipped cream: You can use shop-bought whipped cream or make some from scratch. To make whipped cream, pour ½ a cup of double cream into a bowl, add 1-2 teaspoons of sugar, and whisk until stiff peaks form.
