5. Iced Caramel Coffee or Creamy Caramel Milkshake
Not every caramel drink needs to be a thick frappe.
You can use Cremoso Caramel to create a smoother iced caramel drink or a creamy caramel milkshake-style treat simply by adjusting the amount of ice.
For a smooth iced caramel drink
Blend Cremoso Caramel with cold milk and a small amount of ice, following the manufacturer's preparation instructions.
Add cooled espresso if you want a stronger coffee flavour, or finish with a little Caramel Coffee Syrup.
For a thick caramel milkshake
Use Cremoso Caramel, cold milk and more ice. Blend until rich and creamy, then top with whipped cream and caramel sauce.
You don't need to add ice cream to make this creamy milkshake-style drink.
Want a traditional iced caramel coffee instead? Combine cooled espresso, cold milk, ice and Essenza Caramel Coffee Syrup, without the Cremoso powder.
Caramel Frappe vs Caramel Frappuccino vs Iced Caramel Coffee
Although these drinks share similar flavours, they aren't exactly the same.
| Drink | What makes it different |
|---|---|
| Caramel frappe | A cold, blended caramel drink with a creamy, icy texture |
| Caramel Frappuccino | Starbucks' branded range of blended drinks, including caramel varieties |
| McDonald's caramel frappe | McDonald's branded creamy, blended caramel beverage |
| Iced caramel coffee | Coffee served cold with milk, ice and caramel flavour, generally lighter than a blended frappe |
| Caramel milkshake | A rich, creamy caramel drink that may be made with ice cream or a suitable milkshake-style mix |
With Cremoso Caramel, you can experiment with different textures and toppings to create your own preferred style.
How to Make a Caramel Frappe Taste Like Your Favourite Coffee-Shop Drink
The finishing touches can make a big difference to a homemade frappe.
Get the ice right. Use more ice for a thick blended frappe and less for a smoother iced drink.
Add caramel sauce to the glass. Drizzling sauce around the inside of the glass creates that familiar café-style caramel finish.
Try an espresso shot. Add cooled espresso if you prefer a stronger coffee flavour.
Finish with whipped cream. Add a generous swirl and another drizzle of caramel sauce for a dessert-style treat.
Experiment with chocolate. A little Chocolate Topping Sauce creates a delicious chocolate and caramel combination.
