There’s nothing better than a cold, creamy frappé on a warm day—especially one with caramel and bananas!
This Banana Caramel Frappé is rich, frosty, and perfectly sweet, with a hint of vanilla.
It’s a treat the whole family will love, and you only need a few simple ingredients.
Plus, it’s way cheaper (and even tastier) than grabbing one at a coffee shop.
Let’s blend up something delicious!
What You’ll Need
Ingredients:
- 1 large ripe banana, sliced and frozen
- 1 cup milk (whole, oat, or almond)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzle
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Crushed graham crackers (optional, for garnish)
Tools:
- Blender
- Measuring cups & spoons
- Tall glass
- Spoon for drizzling
Pro Tips
✅ Use frozen bananas – This makes the frappé thick and creamy without needing extra ice. If you don’t have frozen bananas, add more ice.
✅ Adjust the sweetness – Taste before serving! If it’s not sweet enough, add more caramel or a bit of honey.
✅ Blend in stages – Start slow to break up the ice, then blend on high for a smooth, creamy texture.
✅ Make it extra special – A drizzle of caramel inside the glass before pouring makes it look fancy (and extra delicious).
✅ Kid-friendly fun – Let the kids top theirs with extra whipped cream, sprinkles, or chocolate chips!

Instructions

Pour 1 cup milk, add 1 sliced frozen banana, 1 cup ice cubes, 2 tablespoons caramel sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract into the blender.
2. Blend Until Smooth
Start blending on low, then gradually increase to high speed. Blend for about 30-45 seconds until everything is smooth and creamy.
3. Drizzle Caramel in the Glass
Take your serving glass and drizzle extra caramel sauce inside in a swirling motion for a pretty effect.

Leftovers & Storage
Since this is a frozen drink, it’s best enjoyed right away! But if you have leftovers, you can:
❄️ Freeze it in an ice cube tray, then re-blend with a little milk later.
❄️ Keep it in the fridge for a few hours (it will melt but still taste great—just shake before drinking!).
