Caramel Thickshake

Caramel has been made by humans for at least 1,000 years — first as a hard candy produced by Arab confectioners in the 10th century, and eventually evolving into the soft, buttery caramel sauce that became a staple of Western confectionery and dessert making. The word "caramel" likely derives from the Latin "cannamellis" (cane honey) or the Arabic "kora-mokhla."

Caramel-flavoured milkshakes became popular in American diners and milk bars during the mid-20th century, as caramel sauce became widely available as a commercial product. The combination of sweet caramel with cold, creamy ice cream creates a flavour that is simultaneously simple and deeply satisfying — the Maillard reaction that creates caramel's complex flavour (with notes of butter, toffee, and vanilla) translates beautifully to a frozen format.

At Cappadocia, our caramel thickshake uses vanilla ice cream blended with premium caramel sauce — a golden, sweet, and indulgent drink that satisfies the sweet tooth completely and pairs beautifully with our baklava and other sweet menu items.
