How To Make A Caramel Frappuccino Starbucks Copycat
This recipe is so simple, you’ll wonder why you’ve been spending all of that time in the long drive-thru lines. Whip up this drink in less time than it would take to drive to your favorite coffee shop.
- In a blender, combine room temperature or chilled coffee, heavy cream, caramel syrup, vanilla extract, and a handful of ice.
- Blend until smooth.
- To assemble your low carb caramel frappuccino, pour the blended mixture into a glass, top with whipped cream, and drizzle with the keto caramel sauce.
- If desired, you can also add a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for an extra touch of flavor.
Variations
- Make it a Caramel Mocha. There’s not much more delicious than the combination of caramel and chocolate together. To make this a low carb chocolate mocha, use equal parts keto caramel syrup and keto chocolate syrup to drizzle into your glass.
- Serve it iced. Don’t have a blender or prefer iced coffee over a blended beverage? Skip the blender and serve the flavored coffee and keto-friendly syrups over ice instead.
- Sprinkle in some salt. Salted caramel is a classic flavor that pairs well with coffee. Sprinkle in a touch of sea salt when you’re blending together your caramel frappuccino for a tasty salted caramel treat.
Garnish Like A Pro
For a true coffee shop experience, top your Copycat Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino with homemade low carb whipped topping, additional sugar free caramel syrup, and a sprinkle of keto-friendly chocolate shavings.
If you don’t have the extra carbs to spare, you can leave all of this off and still enjoy a tasty drink the way the recipe is written.
How Long Do They Last?
For the best caramel frappuccino experience at home, it’s best to enjoy your coffee drink immediately. Since the coffee is blended with ice, it will begin to melt quickly, causing your coffee to taste watered down and lose some flavor.

Grilled chicken thighs are a great option for a quick, easy, and delicious meal that will please everyone in the family. With this recipe, you’ll have a delicious and juicy grilled chicken in no time.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Chicken thighs - Chicken thighs are the main ingredient, they are a rich, flavorful and more moist cut of chicken that works well on the grill.
- Oil - Used as a base for the marinade, oil helps to keep the chicken moist and prevents it from sticking to the grill. Olive oil, canola oil, or avocado oil are popular options.
- Vinegar - An acid such as vinegar helps to tenderize the chicken and add flavor.
- Spices - A blend of spices and herbs can be used to season the chicken. The spices I chose to use are paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and ground cumin.
- Soy Sauce - Salt is an essential ingredient for seasoning and bringing out the flavors of the other ingredients. Soy sauce is high in sodium and adds a delicious umami flavor.
How To Make Grilled Chicken Thighs
Here’s a simple recipe to follow to make your own grilled chicken thighs at home.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, and onion powder.
- Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss to coat the chicken with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375F).
- Once the grill is hot, remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any remaining marinade. Grill the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing or serving.
Variations
- Sweeten it up. So help balance some of the saltiness in the marinade, you can add in a touch of honey or low carb liquid sweetener. This will cause the chicken skin to caramelize faster, so you will need to watch the chicken thighs on the grill more closely to avoid charring.
- Bring the heat. Squeeze a little sriracha or gochujang into the marinade to add a layer of heat without being overwhelmingly spicy.
- Swap out the cut. This recipe calls for boneless chicken thighs, but you can easily use bone in chicken thighs, or bonless skinless chicken thighs. The only difference is that the bone in thighs will take about 10 minutes longer to reach a safe internal temperature of 165F closest to the bone.
What To Serve With Them
Serve your grilled chicken thighs with a side salad or your favorite vegetables, or use it in a sandwich, wrap or in your favorite recipes. The possibilities are endless!
Here are some of my favorite side dishes to serve with these grilled boneless chicken thighs:
- Keto Broccoli Salad
- Air Fryer Baked Potatoes
- Copycat Panera Mac and Cheese
How Long Do They Last?
After grilling, you should let the chicken cool down to room temperature before storing it in the refrigerator. To do this, transfer the chicken to a clean platter and cover it with foil or plastic wrap, making sure that the wrap is touching the surface of the chicken as little as possible to prevent steaming, this will help to maintain its moisture. You can also store the chicken in airtight containers to keep it from drying out.
When properly stored, grilled chicken thighs will last for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator.
How To Freeze For Later
You can also freeze grilled chicken thighs for up to 4 months, but you should be aware that frozen and thawed chicken can lose some of its texture and moisture.
To freeze grilled chicken thighs, make sure they are cooled down completely and then wrap each one in aluminum foil or plastic wrap, ensuring there’s as little air as possible. Then place them in a freezer-safe container or bag, and store them in the freezer. When you’re ready to eat them, thaw the chicken in the refrigerator overnight and reheat it until it’s hot throughout before serving.
