Ingredients

  • Caramel sauce for lining cup and topping (store-bought or homemade with recipe linked in notes)
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 ½ oz toffee nut syrup (store-bought or recipe below)
  • 1 ½ oz caramel syrup (store-bought or recipe below)
  • ½ teaspoon xanthan powder (can substitute with cornstarch, but use a little bit more)
  • 1 cup ice
  • Whipped cream for topping

Toffee Syrup

  • 1 ¼ cup water
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup toffee pieces

Caramel Syrup

  • 1 cup water divided
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Line inside of cup with caramel sauce.
  • Add milk, cream, toffee syrup, caramel syrup, xanthan gum, and ice to a blender and process until smooth and frothy.
  • Pour into cup and top with whipped cream and caramel sauce drizzle.

Toffee Syrup

  • Put water, sugar, and toffee pieces in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
  • Lower heat and let simmer for about 10 minutes, until syrup has thickened a bit.
  • Strain syrup into a bowl, leaving any remaining toffee pieces behind.
  • Keep syrup in bowl or pour into a mason jar and place in fridge to cool completely before using.

Caramel Syrup

  • Put ½ cup water and sugar into a medium saucepan and bring mixture to a boil while stirring occasionally.
  • Once sugar has dissolved, let mixture continue boiling without stirring. Watch closely for mixture to turn a light amber color. It usually takes about 8-10 minutes for me, but it can go from light amber to being burnt very quickly, so be sure to watch closely.
  • Once mixture is light amber, immediately remove from heat and slowly and carefully pour remaining ½ cup water in. It will likely splatter and steam up, so stand back while pouring. Add vanilla and stir well to combine.
  • Pour syrup into a heat-proof bowl or mason jar and place in fridge to cool completely. Syrup will continue to thicken as it cools.

Notes

  • Check out this post for more details on toffee nut syrup
  • Check out this post more details on caramel syrup
  • I like to use this caramel sauce recipe when I make homemade
  • Both toffee nut and caramel syrups should keep fresh in fridge for about a month when stored in airtight containers.
