Welcome to coffee indulgence at its finest! This Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino copycat brings the beloved Starbucks treat right to your kitchen. Inspired by the coffeehouse giant's summer sensation, this recipe combines rich espresso, velvety caramel, and a satisfying crunch for a truly luxurious experience.
Our version uses a bold, dark roast coffee to stand up to the sweet caramel. We recommend using freshly ground beans for the best flavor. The secret to achieving that perfect Frappuccino texture lies in the blend of ice, milk, and coffee, whipped to a smooth consistency. Top it off with a homemade caramel drizzle and crunchy caramel bits for an authentic coffeehouse finish.
