Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 cups strong coffee, chilled
- 4 cups ice
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/3 cup caramel syrup
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Topping:
- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and equipment, ensuring the coffee is thoroughly chilled to prevent dilution of the frappe’s rich flavor.
- Load the blender with crushed ice, creating a frosty base for the beverage’s creamy texture.
- Pour the cold coffee into the blender, selecting a robust roast that complements the sweet caramel notes.
- Add milk to introduce smoothness and create a luxurious consistency throughout the mixture.
- Incorporate caramel syrup, which will infuse the drink with a deep, golden sweetness and enhance the overall flavor profile.
- Sprinkle granulated sugar to balance the intensity of the coffee and amplify the caramel undertones.
- Activate the blender and pulse on high speed, transforming the ingredients into a velvety, uniform liquid with no visible ice chunks.
- Transfer the frappe into tall, chilled glasses, allowing the drink to maintain its refreshing temperature.
- Elevate the presentation by crowning the frappe with a generous swirl of whipped cream, creating an elegant and indulgent finish.
- Drizzle additional caramel sauce in an artistic pattern over the whipped cream, adding a final touch of decadence and visual appeal.
Notes
- Chill your coffee beforehand for a smoother, more refreshing blended texture that prevents ice from watering down the drink.
- Experiment with milk alternatives like almond or oat milk for dietary preferences or to create a unique flavor profile.
- Use cold brew coffee instead of regular coffee for a richer, less acidic taste that enhances the overall smoothness of the frappé.
- Freeze leftover coffee in ice cube trays to prevent dilution and maintain intense coffee flavor when blending.
