This Coffee Free Caramel Frappucino recipe is a Starbucks copycat dupe without the coffee. This recipe is indulgent, delicious and super easy to make.
It’s made with Pero which is a natural drink that tastes like coffee. It is made with toasted natural grains, like barely, chicory and rye. It makes this coffee free caramel frappucino taste just like the real deal.
You can find Pero in most grocery stores in the coffee and tea section. It is usually around $5-$7 for a big container, so it’s a inexpensive coffee alternative. It is also available on Amazon for $10 (*linked below).
It’s no secret that Starbucks and other coffee shop drinks are expensive but this at home dupe only requires a few ingredients and is really cheap to make too!
This recipe can be made dairy free and with any type of milk you might want. I have whipped cream listed as optional and that can be swapped out for a coconut cream if you are avoiding dairy.
I love the smuckers caramel sauce for this but use whatever caramel sauce you love. Caramel sauces are usually by the ice cream, just in case you are like me and often forget where they put them.
