If you’re a coffee lover like me, you’ll absolutely love this Keto Chocolate Almond Iced Coffee.
It’s rich, chocolatey, slightly nutty, and totally guilt-free—perfect for mornings, mid-day pick-me-ups, or even as a little dessert treat.
The best part?
It’s super easy to whip up, and your kids might even beg for their own decaf version.
Let’s dive in!
What You’ll Need
- Freshly brewed coffee (cooled) – 1 cup
- Unsweetened almond milk – 1/2 cup
- Heavy cream – 1/4 cup
- Unsweetened cocoa powder – 1 tbsp
- Keto-friendly sweetener (like erythritol or stevia) – 1-2 tsp (to taste)
- Almond extract – 1/4 tsp
- Ice cubes – enough to fill your glass
- Optional toppings: whipped cream, cocoa powder, or a few sliced almonds
Pro Tips
- Cool your coffee completely. Hot coffee will melt your ice and water down your drink. You can even prep it the night before and chill it in the fridge.
- Adjust sweetness. Start with a little sweetener and taste as you go. Everyone’s sweet tooth is different!
- Blend for frothiness. If you love that creamy, café-style texture, blend everything for a few seconds before pouring over ice.
- Double it up. Make a bigger batch and store it in the fridge for an easy grab-and-go treat the next day.
- Go decaf for kids. Use decaf coffee so they can enjoy their own fancy drink!
Tools You’ll Need
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Blender or whisk
- Tall glass
- Spoon for stirring
Substitutions and Variations
- Swap almond milk for coconut milk if you prefer a creamier, nuttier flavor.
- Don’t have almond extract? Vanilla extract works great too!
- Not into cocoa? Leave it out for a plain almond iced coffee instead.
Make Ahead Tips
You can brew and chill the coffee up to 3 days ahead. Mix the coffee, almond milk, and cream, then store it in the fridge. Add ice and toppings when ready to serve.
Instructions
1. Brew and cool the coffee.
Brew 1 cup of your favorite coffee and let it cool completely.
2. Mix the base.
In a blender or mixing cup, combine cooled coffee, almond milk, heavy cream, cocoa powder, sweetener, and almond extract. Blend or whisk until smooth.
3. Prepare the glass.
Fill a tall glass with ice cubes, then pour the coffee mixture over the ice.
4. Add toppings.
Top with whipped cream, a light sprinkle of cocoa powder, or a few almond slices for a pretty finish.
Leftovers and Storage
Store the coffee mixture (without ice) in the fridge for up to 3 days. Shake well before serving over fresh ice.
