Caramel Frappe Recipe

Caramel Frappe Recipe-Blendtec

This refreshing caramel frappe recipe is a popular dessert and afternoon pick-me-up. It's a sweet treat that can be a nice change from your usual smoothie or boring black coffee. 

What Is a Frappe? 

Frappes originated in Greece as an iced coffee drink made from coffee, water, and sugar. They are often blended, making the consistency similar to a milkshake. In fact in Italian, "frappe" means milkshake. 

You'll now find variations of frappes that don't even contain coffee, but know you are likely ordering some kind of sweet blended beverage. 

Make It Your Own

Making our caramel frappe recipe instead of getting one from the coffee shop is going to save you a lot of money, and possibly even calories. When you have control over the ingredients, you can choose healthier substitutions that can cost extra at coffee shops. 

  • Milk substitutions: almond or coconut milk
  • Sugar substitutions: honey
  • Topping options: instead of whipped cream or caramel syrup, you could opt for a fruit such as blueberries or strawberries. 

If calories aren't a concern and you're making a celebratory frappe, they make great cocktails as well. Try adding some Kahlua or Amaretto to this caramel frappe recipe for the perfect adult beverage.

    This sounds good. I will not use whole milk and I already have ‘light’ agave nectar. Should be delish!

    What can you use as a substitute for 1/4 cup agave nectar?


  • Blendtec

    You can use honey in place of the agave nectar.
