Caramel Frappuccino or Caramel Coffee Smoothie

Henna — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 19:14:48 +0000

I have the yummiest coffee “smoothie” recipe and I just have to post it.

If you like your coffee.. try this.. it’s a pretty good ringer for Starbucks Carmel Frappuccino, or Caribou Coffees Caramel Cooler.

Caramel Frapp Recipe:
2 c. ice
2/3 c. triple strength chilled coffee (I use instant, sometimes decaf)
2/3 c. milk
¼ c. caramel ice cream topping*
2 TBSP sugar

* I use the ice cream topping type in the squeeze bottle, but Starbucks caramel syrup would be even tastier.

Mix it in the blender to the preferred consistency.

For extra YUM! Top with whipped cream and drizzle with caramel.
