Ingredients You’ll Need
-
Brewed Coffee:
1 cup cooled
Milk:
1/2 cup (any variety)
Toffee Sauce:
1/4 cup (plus more for drizzling)
Brown Sugar:
1 tablespoon (optional)
Ice Cubes:
1 1/2 cups
Whipped Cream:
for topping
Crushed Toffee Bits or Caramel Candy:

How to Make Toffee Coffee Frappé
Step 1: Chill and Prepare Your Coffee
Begin by brewing your favorite coffee—ideally a bold roast. Allow it to cool completely, or, for an extra punch of coffee flavor, use cold brew concentrate or chilled espresso. Pro tip: freezing leftover brewed coffee in an ice cube tray makes this step fast and makes your frappé even richer.
Step 2: Blend Everything Together
Pour the cooled coffee, milk of your choice, luscious toffee sauce, brown sugar if you like it sweeter, and plenty of ice cubes into a blender. Blend everything on high for about 30 seconds, or until the mixture is creamy, smooth, and velvety with no big chunks of ice left.
Step 3: Taste and Tweak
Pause and taste-test your Toffee Coffee Frappé. If you want a little more sweetness or toffee flavor, add an extra drizzle of sauce or a pinch more brown sugar and blend quickly again. This is the moment to make it truly yours.
Step 4: Pour and Top
Pour your blended frappé into a tall glass. Top with a generous swirl of whipped cream, followed by a lavish drizzle of extra toffee sauce. Finish it off with a sprinkle of crushed toffee bits or chopped caramel candies for a show-stopping appearance and a delightful crunch.
How to Serve Toffee Coffee Frappé
Garnishes
For a true coffeehouse experience at home, the sky’s the limit with garnishes! Add a big swirl of whipped cream, go heavy (or light!) with your toffee sauce drizzle, and don’t shy away from the crushed toffee bits. They add both visual flair and a lovely crunch that contrasts the creamy drink underneath.
Side Dishes
Pair your Toffee Coffee Frappé with a light pastry or a buttery biscotti for the ultimate café treat. Slightly salty snacks like roasted nuts or a slice of banana bread are also wonderful—balancing the sweet, caramel-rich notes of the frappé perfectly.
Creative Ways to Present
Turn your frappé into a treat to remember by serving it in mason jars with stripy straws, or layered in chilled cocktail glasses for a fancy touch. Add a dusting of cocoa powder or instant espresso on the whipped cream if you love a coffee kick, or sprinkle on a pinch of sea salt for a grown-up twist on your Toffee Coffee Frappé.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you somehow have any leftover Toffee Coffee Frappé, just transfer it to a sealed container and refrigerate. Give it a good shake or stir before serving, as some separation may naturally occur. It’s best enjoyed within 24 hours for optimal creaminess.
Freezing
You can freeze your frappé in an airtight container; when the craving strikes, just break up the frozen mixture and blend with a splash of fresh milk to revive that dreamy texture. Freezing leftover coffee as ice cubes ahead of time means you’re always ready for frappé action!
Reheating
Unlike hot coffee, this is one treat that shines best when icy cold! Instead of reheating, simply re-blend your stored or thawed mixture with extra ice and milk if needed, restoring that slushy, just-blended feel every time.
FAQs
Can I make a Toffee Coffee Frappé without dairy?
Absolutely! Swap out the milk for any non-dairy option like oat, almond, or soy, and use coconut whipped cream for that luscious topping. You’ll still get all the creamy, dreamy goodness—just plant-based.
What’s the best coffee to use for this frappé?
A bold, dark roast creates a robust base that holds up to the sweet toffee notes, but any coffee you enjoy works. For extra intensity, try chilled espresso shots or a cold brew concentrate.
Can I adjust the sweetness?
Of course! The beauty of a homemade Toffee Coffee Frappé is complete control over the sweetness. Skip the brown sugar, use less toffee sauce, or add a bit more to taste—customize till it’s perfect for you.
My frappé is too thin—how can I thicken it?
Simply add more ice cubes and blend again, or use coffee ice cubes for a thicker, frostier drink without watering down the flavor.
How can I make a big batch for friends?
Scale up all the ingredients and blend in batches, or use a large blender if you have one. Pour into individual glasses, then let everyone garnish their own Toffee Coffee Frappé for a personalized touch.

If you’re looking for a delicious, coffeehouse-worthy treat you can whip up in minutes, the Toffee Coffee Frappé is destined to become your new favorite.
