We love how simple this recipe is, yet it is sooo yummy! The best part is, it’s super easy to customize to your liking without having to pay anything extra. Check out the substitution recommendations below.
Substitutions You Can Use
Whether you are dairy free or a die-hard whole milk drinker, this Iced Caramel Frappuccino can be made with any milk base of your choosing. If using an alternative milk, we suggest using one that isn’t sweetened unless you like your Frappuccino extra sweet!
For the caramel sauce, we always prefer Ghirardelli Caramel Sauce as it’s made for coffee drinks and mixes well into drinks. However, any caramel sauce of your preference can be used.
Instant espresso is different than instant coffee, but if that is all you have on hand, it certainly can work. Fresh espresso also works, but you will want to add additional ice to help cool it down.
Frappuccinos are generally considered ice-blended drinks, but if you don’t have a blender on hand but are curious to try, you can certainly create this as an iced drink and skip the blending.
