If you love coffee and caramel, you have to try this Caramel Coffee Freeze! It’s cold, sweet, creamy, and takes like five minutes to make.

It’s basically a homemade fancy coffee shop drink — but super easy and way cheaper!
Why I Love This Recipe
- Takes 5 minutes and only needs 4 ingredients
- So much cheaper than buying a $7 coffee
- Easy to make a big batch for friends or family
- You can tweak it — sweeter, stronger coffee, extra caramel — however you want!
What You’ll Need

- ¼ cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling

- Whipped cream (optional but awesome!)
Tools You’ll Need

Pro Tips
- Chill your coffee: Brew it ahead and let it cool — hot coffee will just melt the ice too fast!
- Use good caramel: Thick, rich caramel sauce gives the best flavor.
- Taste and tweak: Blend, taste, then add more caramel or milk if you want it sweeter or creamier.
- Add whipped cream: It’s not “required,” but honestly? It makes it next-level good.
- Freeze your coffee: For an even stronger flavor, pour coffee into ice cube trays and freeze it!
Substitutions and Variations
- Swap almond milk or oat milk for regular milk.
- Use sugar-free caramel sauce if you want a lighter version.
- Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream instead of milk for a super rich treat.
- Mix in a pinch of sea salt for a salted caramel flavor.
Make-Ahead Tips
- Brew and chill your coffee the night before. Store it in the fridge so it’s ready when you are.

FAQ
Can I make it without a blender?
You can shake it really hard in a mason jar with crushed ice, but it won’t be quite as slushy.
Can I use instant coffee?
Yep! Just make sure it’s strong and fully dissolved.
Can I make this vegan?
Yes! Use plant milk and vegan caramel sauce, and skip the whipped cream or use a dairy-free version.
