You know that feeling when you just want a fancy coffee shop treat without blowing your carbs or spending $7?
That’s where this Keto Pistachio Iced Coffee comes in.
It’s creamy, nutty, lightly sweetened, and absolutely delicious.
Bonus: it’s super easy to make and feels like a little hug in a cup!
My kids think it smells amazing (even though they don’t drink coffee yet), and it’s my go-to pick-me-up when I need something indulgent but guilt-free.
Let’s do this!
What You’ll Need
For the Coffee:
- 1 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 2 tbsp sugar-free pistachio syrup
- 1 tsp powdered erythritol (optional, for extra sweetness)
For the Topping:
- 1 tbsp crushed pistachios (optional but so worth it!)
- Ice cubes
Pro Tips
- Chill the coffee first: Brew your coffee ahead of time and pop it in the fridge. Hot coffee will melt the ice too fast.
- Customize the sweetness: Taste as you go! Everyone’s sweetness preference is different.
- Blend it if you’re fancy: If you want a frappé vibe, blend it all up with ice instead of pouring it over ice.
- Pistachios for the win: Crushed pistachios on top aren’t just pretty—they add a little crunch that’s next-level.
- Use good coffee: It’s the base of the drink, so pick a coffee you love!
Tools Needed
- Coffee maker (or French press)
- Tall glass
- Spoon for stirring
- Measuring spoons
Substitutions and Variations
- No almond milk? Use coconut milk or any other low-carb milk alternative.
- Out of pistachio syrup? Try sugar-free vanilla syrup for a similar vibe.
- Want it dairy-free? Swap the heavy cream for coconut cream.
- No erythritol? Stevia drops work great!
Make Ahead Tips
- Brew a big batch of coffee and store it in the fridge for quick drinks all week.
- Crushed pistachios can be pre-chopped and kept in an airtight container.
Instructions
1. Brew and chill your coffee.
Brew 1 cup of your favorite coffee and let it cool to room temp, then chill it in the fridge.
2. Prepare the glass.
Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
3. Mix the coffee and flavors.
In a separate glass or small pitcher, combine chilled coffee, almond milk, heavy cream, sugar-free pistachio syrup, and powdered erythritol. Stir well.
4. Pour and top.
Pour the coffee mixture over the ice and top with crushed pistachios. Add a straw, give it a little swirl, and you’re done!
Leftovers and Storage
- This is best fresh, but you can store the mixed coffee (without ice) in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just give it a stir before serving!
Wrap-Up
And that’s it—your fancy Keto Pistachio Iced Coffee is ready to go!
