Yes! Simply add water, cream, sugar, and coffee to a large jar. Ensure the lid is on tight and shake the jar until the mixture is frothy and the coffee has dissolved. Pour this over ice in a glass and top with whipped cream and a swirl of caramel sauce. This method produces a delicious frappuccino with a slightly less smooth texture than the blended version.
For a delicious caramel frappuccino, choose strong brewed coffee or espresso to balance the caramel's sweetness with the rich notes of coffee. Cold brew concentrate is another good option for a milder taste. For a deeper coffee flavour, try making ice cubes from leftover coffee. This enhances the drink without watering it down as the cubes melt.
'Frappuccino' combines 'lait frappé,' the French term for a milkshake with ice cream, and 'cappuccino,' an Italian coffee with espresso and steamed milk. The name captures the drink's essence: a decadent creaminess combined with the strong taste of iced coffee.
Definitely! You have the flexibility to alter the sweetness of your caramel frappuccino by changing the amount of caramel sauce or sugar. If you’re looking for different sweetening options, honey, maple syrup or a sugar-free alternative can also be used.

Tips
Master the art of the caramel frappuccino with our straightforward tips. Boost your home barista skills and create a drink that stands up to the best coffee shop offerings.
Milk variations for texture and flavour
Dairy-based milks are an excellent choice if you prefer a creamier taste and smoother texture in your coffee drinks. These traditional milks, like whole or 2%, provide a rich mouthfeel that complements the strong coffee’s bold flavours. Oat, almond, soy and coconut drinks are equally popular choices, each adding its own unique twist to the flavour profile and texture of your frappuccino. Keep in mind that different liquids may change the drink's consistency, sometimes resulting in a lighter or slightly nuttier note. The best approach is to experiment with different options, discovering the right balance to suit your palate.
Get the consistency just right
To get that coffee shop quality in your frappuccino, begin with crushed ice. It blends smoothly for the fine texture you're after. Keep blending until all the ice breaks down completely, ensuring a smooth and creamy drink. If your frappuccino is too liquid, just add a little more crushed ice and blend again. This extra step thickens your drink to just the right consistency.
Serving and presentation ideas
Chill your serving glasses before pouring the caramel frappuccino. This step enhances the refreshing quality of your drink and maintains the frappuccino's chill to makes each sip more indulgent. Or why not give your frappuccino a personal touch by sprinkling cinnamon or cocoa powder on the whipped cream? These spices add a burst of flavour and an elegant look to your drink, making it even more enjoyable.
Master the blend for the perfect texture
To get your frappuccino perfectly smooth, you might need to stop and stir the mix now and then. This step helps get rid of any remaining ice chunks for an even consistency. Paying attention to this detail ensures your caramel frappuccino is as smooth as the ones made by professional baristas.
