🛒 Ingredients List
You only need a few simple ingredients:
- 1 cup freshly brewed strong coffee or 1 shot espresso
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk)
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1–2 teaspoons powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener (adjust to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder (optional for topping)
All these ingredients are easy to find and keto-approved.
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Brew the Coffee
Start by brewing 1 cup of strong coffee or a fresh espresso shot.
If you want a bold flavor, use dark roast coffee. A strong base makes the Keto Cappuccino taste rich and balanced.
Step 2: Heat the Milk
In a small saucepan, heat the almond milk and heavy cream together.
Do not boil. Just warm it gently for about 1–2 minutes.
Tip: You can also microwave it for 30–40 seconds.
Step 3: Froth the Milk
Use a milk frother, hand whisk, or even a blender to froth the warm milk mixture.
Froth for about 15–20 seconds until it becomes light and foamy.
This step gives your low-carb cappuccino that classic café-style texture.
Step 4: Sweeten and Combine
Add sweetener and vanilla extract into your brewed coffee. Stir well.
Now pour the hot milk mixture into the coffee.
Spoon the foam on top.
Sprinkle cinnamon or cocoa powder if you like.
Your homemade Keto Cappuccino is ready!
