Salted Caramel Pretzel Frappe RecipeWhen Coffee and Dessert Elope

Ingredients (Serves 2)

Salted Caramel Pretzel Frappe - Ingredients

Instructions

Step 1: Brew and Chill
Make coffee. Let it cool in the fridge. If you use hot coffee, you’ll get a sad, watery mess. Don’t do that.

Step 2: Pretzel Prep
Crush pretzels. Use a bag and a rolling pin, or yell at them until they crumble. Your call.

Step 3: Blend the Magic
Add chilled coffee, milk, salted caramel sauce, ice, and 1/4 cup crushed pretzels to a blender. Blend until smooth. If it sounds like a rock concert, you’re doing it right.

Step 4: Assemble Like a Pro
Pour into glasses. Top with whipped cream, a drizzle of caramel, more pretzels, and a tiny sprinkle of salt. The salt is key—it makes you feel fancy.

Step 5: Drink Responsibly (Or Not)
Serve with a straw and a napkin. Warning: Side effects include involuntary “mmm” noises and sudden cravings for a second round.


Tips


Why This Works

Sweet coffee + salty pretzels = flavor fireworks. It’s like a party in your mouth, and everyone’s invited (except kale). Perfect for hot days, Netflix binges, or pretending you’re at a coffee shop without pants.

Final Note

If you share this frappe, you’re a better person than most. If you don’t…we get it. Enjoy your caffeinated dessert hybrid, and remember: life’s too short for bad coffee. Cheers! ☕🥨
