This Ninja Slushi caramel frappuccino recipe makes the most delicious frozen frappes right at home using just your favorite bottled coffee. These creamy, rich and delicious drinks are perfect to load up with whipped cream for a caffeinated treat that'll put a refreshing pep in your step!
Skip the coffeeshop line and blend up a frozen Ninja Slushi caramel frappuccino from the comfort of home! Not only is this recipe way more convenient than fighting your way through the pick-up line, there are so many easy ways to customize the drinks to suit your tastes and dietary needs.
Now, I do not consider this a copycat Starbucks frappuccino recipe because the only ingredient is a Starbucks product... It is more like a Starbucks hack! The Ninja Slushi turns store bought bottles of caramel frappuccinio into frozen, creamy and rich, refreshing, and delicious "homemade" blended drinks - with no need to add ice!
It takes basically just 1 step to make a frappuccino in a Ninja Slushi, but it can take up to 20 minutes for the drink to get perfectly frosty. So get it going as part of your morning routine and it's ready to grab as you walk out the door!
Variations
Sugar-free. Many bottled coffee brands offer variations made with zero sugar. Instead they use alternative sweeteners like sucralose or aspartame. Add about 1 teaspoon of guar gum if making sugar free slushies.
Dairy-free and vegan. Use bottles of blended coffee made with oat milk, soy, almond, or other plant-based non-dairy alternatives.
Other flavors. This wonderfully easy recipe can be made with any flavor of bottled frappuccino! Use it to make vanilla, white chocolate mocha, mocha, or regular coffee frozen blended frappes. And of course it's great with seasonal favorites like pumpkin spice and peppermint mocha, too!
Extra goodies. You cannot put anything solid into the Ninja Slushi machine. However, what you can do is pour the frozen frappe into a large pitcher and stir in other sweet ingredients by hand! Try chopped candy bars or mini M&Ms, or crushed cookies like Oreos and snickerdoodle cookies.
Servings. 2 bottles of frappuccino equals 2 large servings. You can add 1 or 2 more bottles to make a total of 3 or 4 servings.

Best frappuccino toppings
Caramel or chocolate sauce. I suggest drizzling the sauce all around the inside of the glass before pouring in the blended coffee. Then give it another little drizzle right on top before loading on whipped cream.
Whipped cream. Give the frozen drinks that authentic coffeeshop feel by loading them up with a large mound of whipped cream!
Sprinkle of cinnamon. Or add a dash of pumpkin pie spice for a touch of fall.
Sprinkles. Chocolate or rainbow sprinkles bring a fun punch of color and extra sweetness to the frosty coffee drink.
Chocolate shavings. Use white, milk, or dark chocolate to make the Ninja Slushi caramel frappuccino even more decadent!
Frequently asked questions
No, the two sweet frozen drinks are not the same. A milkshake is made with milk and lots of ice cream, plus any extras. Frozen blended frappes include coffee and milk, but no ice cream.
Yes, Starbucks frappuccino coffee drinks do have caffeine.
Starbucks has occasionally released decaf bottled drinks and there are other brands that have caffeine-free options, if that's your preference.
Nope! That is one of the many fantastic things about the Ninja Slushi... There's no ice needed! The machine spins and chills liquids so they get to just the right frozen temperature and frosty, creamy consistency.
No, it's best to enjoy frosty Ninja Slushi caramel frappuccinos soon after making them for the optimal creamy consistency.
