"We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. This DIY creamy McDonald's caramel frappe recipe is just as creamy, sweet, and full of caffeinated goodness as the one you can get at the fast food establishment. That it comes at a fraction of the cost and with none of the hassle of getting the original is just a couple more reasons you'll want to whip up this easy blended coffee drink."
"If starting your morning with an iced coffee has become your summer routine, but the drive-through feels too far and your wallet is growing lighter, then our DIY version is the perfect solution for you. Ksenia Prints of My Mocktail Forest tested a few different combinations to uncover the secret to just the right frappe consistency - akin to a creamy slushie, but much smoother. And now, we're here to spill all the coffee beans on how to replicate this McDonald's staple."
"The coffee base of this drink is made with instant coffee granules. And no, this is not an error - using a strong instant coffee brand like the Nescafé Gold Espresso Intense, or the Standard Espresso gives you an espresso-like taste, with even more punch because you can add more granules. Then, you'll need cold whole milk, store-bought caramel sauce, granulated sugar, and ice."
A copycat creamy caramel frappe can be made at home to mimic McDonald's texture and flavor while costing much less. The recipe uses strong instant coffee granules to produce an espresso-like punch, combined with cold whole milk, store-bought caramel sauce, granulated sugar, and ice. A tiny amount of xanthan gum provides the signature smooth, slushie-like frappe consistency and should not be skipped. Optional whipped cream topping can be store-bought or homemade. Testing of combinations identifies the right balance of ingredients to achieve a creamy, smooth blended coffee drink similar in taste and mouthfeel to the fast-food version.
