Are you a morning person? When I was in college I used to sleep pretty late, I think that’s a common thing with everyone during college time. But it’s amazing how a lot of our habits change with time. After getting married and settling down in life, I started sleeping early, in fact now it’s a challenge for me to stay awake till midnight. I remember recently we had this Indian-Pakistan world cup cricket match and it went on till 3 am in the morning. I can’t remember the last time I was up this late and trust me it was hard for me to keep my eyes open in spite of me being a huge cricket buff.
Anyway whether I get sufficient sleep in the night or not, one thing which I always do need in the morning is my coffee! Sitting on the couch with a hot steaming cup of coffee in the morning is probably my favorite time of the day because it’s the little “me time” that I get to enjoy before the hustle bustle of life begins.
Over the weekend when husband doesn’t have to go to work, we both like to spend some quality time together over a cup of coffee. There’s a problem though, my hubby doesn’t like hot coffee but he loves frappuccino. So I have to make 2 types of coffee, hot for me and cold for him and for that I obviously need a coffee which works well for both versions and also tastes amazing. And which is why I was so excited to find new McCafé ground coffee beans and coffee pods which are now available in 8 different flavors in the coffee aisle at my favorite store, Walmart.
I instantly picked up the Breakfast Blend which like all the other flavors is made with 100% Arabica Beans harvested from the rich soils and mountainous regions of the foremost coffee-growing areas of the world. Using the McCafé Breakfast Blend I whipped up some dulce de leche frappucino for me and hubs over the weekend and the flavor left us wanting for more!
It’s so simple to make your own dulce de leche frapuucino at home, it doesn’t only taste awesome it’s also much cheaper if you compare it to the amount of $$ you’d pay for the same serving outside! Here’s how you make it in 3 simple steps.
Step 1 | Brew McCafé coffee and gather all your ingredients – brewed coffee, milk, ice cubes, dulce de leche and sugar.
Step 2 | In a blender mix everything together.
Step 3 | Blend till everything is well combined.
Pour into serving glass and enjoy! And of course some whipped cream and chocolate on top never hurts. I also added some toffee bits on top!
So whether your family prefers hot coffee or frapuccino, the flavor of McCafé coffee is perfect for all. In fact I can’t wait to bake with it, coffee muffins for breakfast anyone? The coffee is available in 8 flavors, so there’s a lot to choose from and it also has flexible brewing options!
And now tell me what’s your favorite way of drinking coffee? I would love to hear from you!
* Adjust sugar to taste. I used store bought Dulce De Leche in this recipe which was already quite sweet.

Manali, WOW, these frappuccinos are gorgeous!!!
Thank you so much Alice!
Oh my gosh this looks soooo delicious! What a treat!
Thank you so much Allie!
Mmmm this looks so unreal delicious!! Dulce de leche is my favorite, and I’m a coffee addict. Pinned!
Thanks Rachel for the pin!
What a delicious and refreshing drink, Manali! Even the name sounds so tempting! Nothing can beat the taste of Homemade Fraps! yumm!
Thanks Savita, it was delicious!
I’m sure you’re saving some sugar as well as money there, Manali! Starbucks fraps are a little overloaded. This looks deliciously cool!
Thanks Mir, yes homemade is always better!
I love making my own Frappachinos. I spend so much money in Starbucks, that this saves me a lot of money.
I agree, making frappuccino at home saves a lot of money and it’s equally delicious too!
This frappucino sounds so delicious, Manali!!! YUMMMY! I wish I had a big cup of it with my breakfast this morning!
Thanks Ceara! come over, I’ll make one for you! 🙂
This frappuccino looks incredible, Manali! And don’t even get me started on the dulce de leche twist…I kinda want this to be in my kitchen right now! I’m the same as you, too…I used to sleep much later (and stay up later), but now it’s early to bed and early to rise. I’m almost ashamed to admit it, but sometimes we are in bed reading before 9pm on weeknights. When did we become so old?? Love this post, btw! 🙂
Thanks David! 🙂 I know we are really old now lol you are not the only one even I sleep at 9 pm sometimes ha ha..
My hubby and I are huge coffee drinkers. 95% of the time we drink it black, however – every once in a while a special coffee treat is in order – this will certainly meet that need! Awesome recipe, Manali!
Thanks Annie, yes it’s a good change! 🙂
I totally know what you mean about staying up late…I seriously am always in bed by midnight (real party animal over here). I blame it on being a mom…..I still not on the coffee train even though I desperately need the caffeine. This dulce de leche frap is starting to convince me though. Beautiful pics
Thanks Mariah!
I love frappuccino’s, never had a dulce de leche one though. These look amazing, I can’t wait to try it! Coffee is a very important part of my morning – I still stay up late, but have 3 kids that get me up early. Bad combination! 🙂
haha indeed that is a bad combination…thanks Stacey!
Your Dulce De Leche Frappuccino recipe looks amazing! Thank you for sharing your recipe. I have three young children, so early bedtimes and early rising has become the norm here… but a great cup of coffee still helps me get moving! #client
Thanks Stephanie! I’m glad you like the recipe 🙂
Oh yum Manali! Now I want a big glass of frappuccino! It looks so refreshing! Pinned!
Thanks Kristi!! Glad you like!
This frappuccino looks incredible! Gorgeous pictures, Manali! Wish I had one right now!:)
Thanks Kelly!!

Fabulous! I can’t have a hot cup of coffee so a cold one is always welcome. Gorgeous pics.

Beautiful dessert…oops….I mean coffee. Oh, which is it?
haha either way it’s delicious! Thanks Kathy!
Lucky girl! You can get up early! 🙂
I am a big coffee sucker, and I love both hot&cold. I also love Frappuccino, and this one looks so inviting. Would love to join you for weekend breakfast. 🙂
I would love to have you for breakfast Anu! 🙂 I love coffee too in all forms!
I am obsessed with coffee. Hot or cold and this looks delicious! I love frapps and could drink these everyday all day!! I’ve never tried McCafe coffee and I’m thinking I need to change that asap! 😉 Pinned!!
