• Milk: Any milk or dairy-free milk will work in this recipe, just know the consistency may vary. Whole milk, 2%, almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk are all great options. If your ingredients aren’t blending well or the mixture seems too thick, add another splash of milk.

• Caramel: The squeezy bottle variety of caramel or canned carnation caramel works well too. You can also make your own caramel from scratch.

Using Coffee or Espresso

At Starbucks this recipe is made with espresso, but you have a few options for what you can use at home. This recipe can be made with two shots of freshly brewed or instant espresso, or 1/3 cup of strongly brewed coffee or cold brew coffee.

Because we are blending it with ice and milk, the coffee is diluted so a strongly brewed coffee or cold brew coffee is best. To brew your coffee strongly, use less water than you would when brewing a normal cup of coffee. If possible, allow your coffee or espresso to chill before making the drink. This will prevent the ice from melting and diluting your frappuccino.
