Cool off and enjoy this Frozen Caramel Coffee!
This past weekend, I was bound and determined to show my husband that he could make his favorite coffee drink at home! Many people stop by their local coffee shops daily picking up that $5 drink.
In my mind that drink times 5 days a week is $100 a month or more in coffee that I could most certainly use elsewhere in my budget.
My husband does not do this and neither do I, but my husband does spend his extra money on these coffee drinks, so I wanted to show him a homemade alternative. In my opinion, it tastes better too!
I originally posted this recipe back in 2011; however, I thought it was a great one to share again as it’s a favorite of mine throughout the summer months!
Tips for Making Frozen Caramel Coffee
This recipe does make a blender full, so what I like to do is put them in freezer safe containers such as these, Ball Plastic Containers.
Then, in the morning while you are getting ready for work just sit one out on the counter for a few minutes to thaw. Once you are heading out the door you can take your drink with you.
I prefer making plenty of these so that I only have to do it one time a week it should fill at least 5 containers and for myself, I do not drink these daily.
If you are the same it could likely last you a few weeks.
Let’s not forget all that homemade whipped cream too.
I store this in the fridge and if you are in the mood for whipped cream just put a little on top of your coffee.
What do you need for Frozen Caramel Coffee?

Will this work with instant coffee? I’m not a big coffee drinker, but I love frapuccinos. I don’t even have coffee pot..
Kristy says
Yes it should work the same way.

kristin says
hey i made this and it was delicious,, but when i tried to freeze the rest and thaw out it tooks 2 hours to thaw out. Did i do something wrong or is it that u have to use those “ball” containers? thx!
Kristy says
These are pretty small containers, so it may be that they are small enough that it doesn’t take long at all to defrost. When my husband takes them to work and uses a large cup like 24-32oz, he’ll put them in the fridge the night before to get them defrosted. If it does take longer, I would suggest putting it under some hot water from a few minutes to speed it up. I have a feeling though it’s just that those containers are small.
Krista says
i make coffee drinks at home all the time, i get one fro a shop once a month as my “out and about” treat while im doing errands but otherwise i make them at home and i can have any flavor i want for alot less.

My daughter and I made the mocha version of these this morning & they were awesome! Ours were decaf though, unfortunately, since I am 9 months pregnant and she is only 4.
lorie says
Any idea about how may calories these are? I’m trying to eat healthier & have found that all the “fancy” coffee drinks are LOADED!
Mommy Hates Cooking says
To cut down the calories, you can use skim milk and sugar free caramel syrup. Also, either skip the whipped cream or use a light whipped cream. In this recipe the calories are going to come mostly from the whipped cream.

I bet Jamie would love this. He’s a big iced coffee drinker! 🙂
Perla says
What type of coffee?? Coffee beans? Ground coffee? Or instant coffee? Thanks!
Kristy says
I just used regular brewed coffee. You can cool it off in the fridge if you want too. Instant or ground coffee would work, just brew it in the coffee maker or if it’s instant make it as instructed.
Kristy Still says
I also updated it on the post because it was unclear, thanks for asking!!
Perla says
Oh, ok! Brewed coffee? That makes sense now! LOL. I feel like that was a silly question now 😉 Thank you for the clarification! 🙂

This sounds so delicious! I am a coffee drinker but like frozen coffees during the summer! Gotta try this one!
Leanna says
Looks amazing. My friend loves cold coffee, I will share this with her.
Melissa says
If making for one person, definitely cut the recipe in half. This made way too much for one person. It’s my own fault I didn’t think to cut in half. Really good though.
Fred Schafer says
Do I have to use skim milk?
Mommy Hates Cooking says
No, you can use any type that you prefer.
