If you’re missing that creamy, coffeehouse iced cappuccino but want to keep it low-carb, you’re in for a treat!
This Keto Iced Cappuccino is rich, smooth, and perfectly chilled.
Plus, it’s so simple to make at home, and it’ll save you money and carbs.
Whether you need a refreshing morning pick-me-up or an afternoon treat, this is the drink you’ll keep coming back to.
Bonus—it’s family-friendly, so you can easily tweak it to be non-keto for others in the house!
What You’ll Need
Ingredients:
- 1 cup freshly brewed strong coffee, cooled
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 1-2 tbsp keto-friendly sweetener (like erythritol or monk fruit)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- A pinch of cocoa powder or cinnamon for garnish (optional)
- Ice cubes
Tools:
- Blender or handheld frother
- Tall glass
- Measuring spoons and cups
- Straw (optional)
Pro Tips
- Cool the coffee completely. Hot coffee will melt the ice and water down your drink, so pop it in the fridge for 15–20 minutes.
- Blend it for froth. Use a blender or frother to make it extra creamy and give it that café-style foam.
- Adjust sweetness to taste. Start with 1 tbsp sweetener, then add more if needed—it’s easier to add than to take out!
- Double batch it. Store extra coffee in the fridge so you’re always ready for a quick iced cappuccino.
- Kid-friendly tweak. For the non-keto crowd, swap almond milk with regular milk and skip the sweetener or use sugar.
Substitutions & Variations
- Milk Options: Swap almond milk for coconut milk for a richer flavor.
- Sweetener: Any low-carb sweetener works—stevia, monk fruit, or even allulose.
- Flavor Boost: Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dash of sugar-free caramel syrup.
- Non-Keto Version: Use regular sugar and whole milk for family members who aren’t keto.
Make Ahead Tips
Brew a batch of strong coffee and keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also pre-mix the almond milk and cream for quicker assembly.
Instructions
1. Brew & Cool the Coffee:
Brew a strong cup of coffee and let it cool completely in the fridge.
2. Blend the Ingredients:
In a blender, combine the cooled coffee, almond milk, heavy cream, sweetener, and vanilla. Blend for 20–30 seconds until frothy.
3. Serve Over Ice:
Fill a tall glass with ice cubes and pour the frothy coffee mixture over it.
4. Garnish & Enjoy:
Dust with a pinch of cocoa powder or cinnamon, add a straw, and enjoy your keto-friendly treat!
Leftovers & Storage
You can store any leftover blended coffee in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but it’s best fresh! Store extra brewed coffee separately in a sealed container for 3 days.
