Caramel Brulée Frappuccino Recipe

Starbucks Caramel Brulée Frappuccino is a pretty tasty seasonal beverage. Since Starbucks recently started serving it again, I thought I would try my hand at a copycat recipe. The Starbucks website wasn't very helpful when trying to figure out what to mix, and other places suggested I add Toffee Nut syrup, which I do not have. So, I went my own way.

This delicious drink mixes together Caramel, Vanilla, and Maple for a pretty tasty drink. I made this one way, but there are lots of ways to substitute or change it up to make it work for you and what ingredients you have.

*Some people have stated that I used the wrong Brulé in the name of my frappuccino. I spelled it the way I did because it was the way Starbucks spelled it and since it is a Starbucks copycat recipe, I wanted it to match their's so when people looked it up, they would also find my recipe.

Step 1: Supplies

This recipe is a single serving and makes about the equivalent of a 16oz Grande from Starbucks.

Ingredients:

• 2c ice
• 1/4c strong coffee
• 1/2c milk - or Half & Half or whipping cream - I used heavy whipping cream because I had it around
• 3 pumps/tbsp Caramel syrup / or / 3 tbsp caramel sauce
• 2 pumps/tbsp Vanilla Syrup / or / vanilla simple syrup / or / vanilla extract might work, but then you might need more simple syrup
• 1 pump/tbsp Torani Maple Syrup / or / actual Maple Syrup (optional)
• 1 tbsp simple syrup or more if you aren't using maple syrup or less, that's your call
• Pinch of Xantham Gum (optional)

Topping:

• Whipped topping
• Caramel sauce (I made jessyratfink's microwave caramel sauce and dripped that along the inside of the glass and put it on top)

Caffeine-Free:

Replace coffee with milk (or whatever you are using).

Utensils:

• Blender - I use a Magic Bullet at home, it's great for making individual drinks though doesn't blend quite as well as the Vitamix
• Ice cube trays - small ice cubes make for even easier blending
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Cups for serving
• Straws

Step 2: Blend

Blend it all together.

Step 3: Top and Serve

Okay, for this drink I decided to have a little fun and dripped some caramel down the inside of the glass. You can also do this with your Caramel Frappuccino or Salted Caramel Mocha Frappuccino.

I topped my drink with whipped topping and more of jessyratfink's caramel sauce.

Starbucks tops theirs with some like sugar candy. You can probably make a simple sugar candy and cook it pretty far, pour it out, let it harden, and break it into tiny pieces. But I didn't try this so I don't know :)
