If you’re looking for a treat that feels indulgent but keeps you on track with your keto goals, you’re going to love this Butter Pecan Iced Coffee.
It’s creamy, nutty, and just the right amount of sweet, with that smooth coffee kick we all crave.
I make this when I want my coffee to feel a little fancy but don’t want to spend $7 at a café.
Plus, it’s super easy to whip up at home, and the kids even think it smells like dessert (win-win!).
What You’ll Need
- 1 cup brewed coffee (cooled or chilled)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp pecan butter (or finely ground pecans)
- 1-2 tbsp sugar-free caramel syrup (to taste)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Ice cubes
- Optional: whipped cream and crushed pecans for topping
Pro Tips
- Use cold coffee or espresso for the best iced coffee flavor—room temp won’t cut it!
- If you don’t have pecan butter, you can blitz some pecans in a food processor until smooth.
- Blend the coffee, cream, and butter in a blender for the creamiest texture—it’s worth the extra step!
Tools You’ll Need
- Blender or handheld milk frother
- Measuring spoons
- Coffee maker (or cold brew concentrate)
- Tall glass
Substitutions and Variations
- Swap pecan butter for almond or hazelnut butter for a twist.
- Not a caramel fan? Use sugar-free maple syrup or a sprinkle of cinnamon for a different flavor vibe.
- Dairy-free? Sub the heavy cream with coconut cream and the butter with ghee or coconut oil.
Make Ahead Tips
Brew extra coffee and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. That way, you’re always ready for your next cup!
