Ingredients
- 1 cup of brewed coffee
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce
- 1 scoop of ice

Instructions
- Begin by brewing a cup of your favorite coffee. Allow it to cool slightly to room temperature. If you want a stronger flavor, you can use a dark roast or espresso.
- In a blender, combine the brewed coffee, 1/2 cup of milk, and 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce. You can use store-bought caramel sauce or homemade if you prefer.
- Add 1 scoop of ice to the blender. This will help create the frappuccino's signature frosty texture.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. Make sure there are no ice chunks remaining for a perfect consistency.
- Once blended, taste your frappuccino. If you desire more sweetness, feel free to add an extra drizzle of caramel sauce and blend again briefly.
- Pour the frappuccino into a tall glass, leaving some space at the top for whipped cream.
- Top your frappuccino generously with whipped cream. For an extra touch, drizzle additional caramel sauce over the whipped cream.
- Serve immediately with a straw or a spoon, and enjoy your homemade Caramel Pick Me Up Frappuccino!
Tips
- Choose Your Coffee Wisely: For a more robust flavor, opt for a dark roast or espresso. The stronger the coffee, the more it will shine through in your frappuccino.
- Chill Your Coffee: Allow your brewed coffee to cool to room temperature before blending. This prevents the ice from melting too quickly and keeps your frappuccino frosty.
- Customize Your Sweetness: If you love a sweeter drink, don’t hesitate to add more caramel sauce to taste. A little extra drizzle can make a big difference!
- Blend to Perfection: Ensure you blend the mixture on high speed until it’s completely smooth. This will help achieve that creamy, velvety texture that makes frappuccinos so enjoyable.
- Presentation Matters: Serve your frappuccino in a tall glass and don’t skimp on the whipped cream! A generous topping with an extra drizzle of caramel sauce makes for an Instagram-worthy drink.
- Experiment with Variations: Feel free to get creative! Add a sprinkle of sea salt for a salted caramel twist or mix in a scoop of chocolate syrup for a mocha version.
