Ever have one of those days? You know, where your ice cream melted, your coffee’s cold, and your bananas are plotting world domination from the fruit bowl? Defeat them. Blend them into submission. Make this frappé. Your taste buds will applaud. Your blender might get a standing ovation.
What You Make
This recipe makes one gloriously thick and frosty Banana Caramel Frappé. It tastes like a banana milkshake met a caramel sundae and decided to throw a party. In your mouth. It is cold. It is sweet. It is fast. Summer heat waves fear this drink.
What You Need
Gather these things:
- Frozen Bananas: 1 large banana (Peel it first! Slice it. Freeze slices for 4 hours or more. Crucial step.)
- Cold Milk: 1/2 cup (Any kind works. Cow milk. Almond milk. Oat milk. Your choice.)
- Ice Cubes: 2 cups (Standard ice cube tray cubes.)
- Caramel Sauce: 2 tablespoons (Plus extra for drizzling later. Use store-bought. Life is short.)
- Vanilla Extract: 1/2 teaspoon (The magic flavor booster.)
- Optional Boosters: Pinch of salt (Makes caramel taste better). Tiny pinch cinnamon.
How You Make It
Follow these simple steps:
- Prep Your Glass: Get a tall glass. Drizzle caramel sauce inside the glass. Make messy lines. Art is subjective. Put the glass in your freezer.
- Blend the Base: Put the frozen banana slices in your blender. Add the cold milk. Add the 2 tablespoons caramel sauce. Add the vanilla extract. Add your pinch of salt or cinnamon if using.
- Crush the Ice: Add the 2 cups of ice cubes to the blender.
- Blend It Smooth: Secure the blender lid tightly. Start blending on low speed. Slowly increase speed to high. Blend until the mixture looks completely smooth. No ice chunks remain. It should be thick like a milkshake. Stop the blender. Scrape down the sides if needed. Blend again for 10 seconds. Blend it like you mean it.
- Pour and Drizzle: Take your chilled glass from the freezer. Pour the blended frappé into the glass. It will be frosty! Top it with more caramel sauce drizzle. Be generous.
Serve It Now
Drink immediately. Use a sturdy straw. Or a spoon. This frappé melts faster than your resolve on a Monday morning. Enjoy the creamy, banana-caramel victory. Do a little banana dance. You earned it.
Remember
- Frozen Banana is Key: Fresh banana makes weak smoothies. Frozen banana makes thick frappés. Freeze your banana slices.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste after blending. Add a tiny bit more caramel sauce if you want it sweeter. Blend again briefly.
- Too Thick? Add one tablespoon more milk. Blend again.
- Too Thin? Add a few more ice cubes. Blend again.
