Homemade Salted Caramel Frappuccino Recipe - my favorite coffee shop drink in it's lighter, homemade version. So easy and absolutely delicious! 

Salted Caramel Frappe in a mug.

These past two days has been absolutely gorgeous here in Kansas. Sunny mornings, upper 70s, light breeze - perfection! Warm, sunny days have me craving iced coffee drinks with a tall whipped cream topping. And a drizzle of caramel. Yes, definitely a drizzle of caramel.

You may already know that I love making coffee creamers and coffee drinks in my own kitchen instead of standing in line of a coffee shop. It's easier, quicker and cheaper.

It's also so much more fun to enjoy my favorite frappe while reading a book on the patio, enjoying the outdoors and watching my kiddos playing on their swing set. Not in a car, trying to navigate traffic.

Add a slow cooker dinner that cooks itself (oh, how I love those!!) and I can have a really relaxing afternoon. Spring is in full bloom and I want to soak up every drop of sunshine I can. I didn't realize how much I was craving it until this month. Waking up to birds happily chirping, sun rays falling into our bedroom through window blinds, fresh breeze - all that gives me energy and puts a smile on my face.

This frappuccino takes 40 seconds of high speed in my blender and another ten to be dressed up with a generous swirl of whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce. I used ice, strong coffee, half-n-half, caramel sauce and vanilla extract to make this delicious mixture. Few ingredients, under a minute in a blender and I had a tall frappuccino ready for sipping. It's not too sweet, so adjust the amount of caramel sauce to your own taste. You can use a coconut whipped cream to make it even skinnier. Most of all, enjoy it outdoors - it's the best that way!

    I will make a post about actually attempting the little recipe 🙂 Good news it worked! I used 2% milk instead of half and half because I just don't keep half and half on hand like I do regular milk. And I made my own Carmel sauce to go with this recipe. I checked out the Mocha version of this and it is so similar I plan of repeating these instructions but substituting homemade chocolate syrup into this instead of the Carmel sauce. Overall I enjoyed saving myself a trip to the store for this milky gem, plus the money. $4-5 for Carmel flavored milk is such a rip off in my opinion. I'm a regular "at-home" baker so I have ingredients on hand to make extra things like this possible.... It is very good and great inspiration..... As I take another sip of this tasty treat 😉

    Best drink ever. The only thing that stops me from having one every day is the price. Now that isn't an issue. Love!
