How to Make a Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino
1. Add Ice & Coffee
Add ice and coffee into a high-speed blender – this can be cold brew, regular coffee you’ve let cool down, or a couple of shots of strong espresso if you’re feeling fancy.
2. Pour in Milk & Brown Sugar
Add milk and brown sugar. Feel free to adjust the amount of brown sugar to your own personal taste!
3. Caramel Time
This is where the magic happens! Put in 2 tablespoons of that yummy caramel sauce. This is what gives your frappuccino that swirl of caramel awesomeness. It’s so good!
4. Blend the Frappuccino
Put the lid on your blender and blend everything together until it’s all mixed up nicely. The ice will get crushed and mix with the coffee, milk, sugar, and caramel to make something delicious.
5. Add Whipped Cream & Toppings
Pour the blended frappe into a glass. Top with whipped cream and an extra caramel drizzle! If you have frozen date pieces or small caramel candy bits, you can toss them on top, too.
That’s it! Your frappuccino is ready to be sipped and enjoyed. It’s a bit like having a dessert and a coffee all in one. So, take a cozy sip, share with friends if you want, and let the deliciousness make your day better. Cheers to tasty treats!
