Description
A thick, creamy, and perfectly balanced salted caramel coffee frappe made with just five ingredients. This quick 5-minute drink offers cafe-quality flavor at home, combining cold brew, milk, ice, and rich caramel sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240ml) cold brew coffee
- 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk
- 1 cup (100g) ice cubes
- 1–2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons salted caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- Chocolate syrup (for garnish)
- Pinch of flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Chill a serving glass in the freezer for 10 minutes (optional but recommended).
- Ensure the coffee is cold; if using hot coffee, let it cool and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Add cold coffee, whole milk, ice cubes, and granulated sugar to a high-speed blender.
- Blend on high for 30-60 seconds until the mixture is smooth, frothy, and thick like a milkshake.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of salted caramel sauce into the bottom of the chilled glass.
- Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce down the inside walls of the glass and swirl to coat.
- Pour the blended coffee mixture into the prepared glass.
- Top with a generous swirl of whipped cream.
- Drizzle with chocolate syrup in a zig-zag pattern.
- Sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt on top.
- Serve immediately with a thick straw.
Notes
Use cold brew or chilled strong coffee to prevent the ice from melting too quickly. Adjust sugar based on the sweetness of your caramel sauce. For a dairy-free version, use oat or almond milk and vegan caramel/whipped cream. The drink is best served immediately as it melts quickly.
