It’s Monday and a typical Monday at that. Everyone is having a hard time getting moving this morning, none of them want to do their school work and I need the weekend to come back. Or have a good cup of coffee. Maybe two!
I love my coffee! I never used to but since I met my husband, who introduced me to mochas, I’ve been a believer. 😉
In the summer time, I love iced coffees and frappes. Going to McDonalds to get my fix adds up quickly. So why not just make your favorite drinks at home?!
I found my favorite homemade caramel frappe recipe but now that it’s fall, I’m loving the McDonalds Caramel Mocha more often.
Here’s a great copy cat McDonalds Caramel Mocha recipe that you can enjoy right from home. The recipe calls for milk. You can use whatever milk you like. I actually used Almond Milk. With this recipe, there’s a lot of give and take for how you prefer it. So start with the basic ingredients and then use more or less to suit your taste.
Let me know how you like it and/or what your substitutions are.

Addicted to Mickey D’s caramel mocha’s excited to try this recipe! Thanks for sharing!
Addicted to McDonald’s ice caramel mocha but now can’t drink anything that has caffeine and this recipe will help me make it to where I don’t have to give it up. Thank you
I am soo Excited! I tried McDonalds Carmel Mocha yesterday for the first time during a business meeting…. and it was great! The company had Mochas sent in from McDonalds. When I saw the size of the cup I was like….. this cup is huge! I immediately concluded if this coffee is good it won’t fit into my budget. Your recipe was G-R-R-R-R-E-A-T! (in the words of Tony the Tiger)… Thanks so much for sharing… It probably would have been even better had I followed the recipe. I didn’t have caramel sauce, but my son had the caramel sauce that freezes once you pour it (made by smuckers) the coffee was hot enough for it not to solidify….. Yipppie…
Yes, I’m always craving this coffee. So yummy! Glad you liked it! 🙂
Where can I get the carmal and chocolate sauces?
Usually in the ice cream toppings section or in the condiment aisle.
Is there a certain name brand of coffee u use
I use my Keurig and I usually get the Gloria Jeans Hazelnut. But I don’t think it matters much.
I know you say it doesn’t make any difference what type of coffee to use but this is the first time I’ve ever drank coffee and its only been the McDonald’s. I stand in front of the coffee aisle and there is so much to choose from it just blows my mind. there are so many different types. do you know by any chance the exact type of coffee that McDonald’s uses. I also noticed on the coffee it says mild, strong rich, etc. and then it’s just becomed very confusing.just need a little bit more clarification thanks for your time lynda
No, I do not know what kind of coffee they use. Sorry! You may just need some trial and error until you find the one you like best.
They sell mcdonalds brand coffee at my local grocery store
McDonald’s uses espresso coffee.
McDonald’s uses espresso coffee.
McDonald’s uses arabica coffee. I can’t wait to try this at home!
Thanks, I have to try this now.
I love to order these and can’t always afford it. Now I can make it at home! Thank you.
This sounds delicious!
Looks good, and a money saver!
I love McDonalds Caramel Mocha, but I don’t get them very often because I think they are too expensive. It will be nice to make them at home whenever I want.
So easy and fast to make. Yum!
This sounds delicious. I am not a coffee person, but I would definitely try this. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
I was wondering what kind of caramel and chocolate sauce you use?
I just picked up caramel and chocolate from the ice cream toppings section. Any will do 🙂
I love the caramel mocha’s and yes I have to have one every night, They are very expensive, so I thought just maybe there is the recipe out here for that drink and sure enough someone answered my prayer. Thank you so much. Can’t wait to get the rest of the ingredients to try it now. Thank you. What about the iced one????
I believe all you need to do to this recipe is add ice. I’m going through trial and error myself to figure out how much to use or not use of each!
This is really good i axtually prefer it cuz i can use my special cofee (cofee and chicory by cafè du monde) and it makes it so much better and i used a creamier milk to add a better texture and it was perfect thanks so much
Anyone know how many calories?
I can’t wait to try this. Thank you for sharing.
My son would enjoy this. He loves those!
That looks very good. Thanks for the recipe.
This looks amazing! Can’t wait to make it!
I like their regular mochas without the caramel. If I left out the caramel would it be the same? Or should I put in extra chocolate?
I would think it’d still taste good. I’d probably add extra chocolate but you might have to experiment to get it how you like it.
I will try this since I am not coffee person.
I do like McDonald’s but it is expensive.
McDonald’s actually uses Expresso rather than coffee. I know this because I get so mad when I go to order my hot Caramel Mocha and either the Expresso machine is down or they are cleaning it.
You can find expresso k-cups, but if you have your own Expresso machine, I’m sure that would be the best thing to use to make a Caramel Mocha just like McDonald’s!
