Ingredients
- 1 cup cold brew coffee (or strong chilled coffee)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup thick coconut cream
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1–2 tablespoons erythritol or allulose, to taste
- 1 tablespoon MCT oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut (for toasting and topping)
Instructions
- Toast the coconut: In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast 1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut until golden and fragrant, 2–3 minutes. Set aside.
- Blend: Add cold brew, almond milk, coconut cream, cocoa powder, sweetener, MCT oil, vanilla, salt, and 1 cup of ice to a high-speed blender. Blend on high until thick and smooth (20–30 seconds). Add more ice for a thicker texture or a splash of almond milk if too thick.
- Serve: Pour into a tall glass. Top with toasted coconut and a light cocoa dusting if you like. Sip immediately.
Keto Focus
- No added sugar: Sweetened with erythritol or allulose for near-zero impact on blood sugar.
- High-fat, low-carb: Coconut cream and MCT oil provide satisfying fats while keeping net carbs low.
- Smart swaps: Unsweetened almond milk replaces dairy milk, slashing carbs without sacrificing creaminess.
