¼ | cup | whipped cream

Instructions

Step 1

Drizzle caramel sauce around the inside walls of a tall glass to create ribbon streaks.

Step 2

    Notes

    • Use thick caramel sauce for proper ribbon layers
    • Room-temperature caramel creates better ribbon streaks
    • The frappuccino base should be thick like a milkshake
    • Pour the second layer slowly to keep the caramel ribbons intact
    • Toffee bits make the easiest caramel crunch topping
    • Serve immediately for best texture and flavor
