Must-Have Equipment for This Keto Recipe

• Small Saucepan: I use this for heating the mixture of cream and flavorings. It’s great because it distributes heat evenly and makes the creamer smooth and velvety.
• Measuring Cups and Spoons: Precision is key in making the perfect keto coffee creamer. I use these to measure out exact amounts of ingredients like vanilla extract and sweeteners.
• Whisk: A simple tool, but essential. I whisk the ingredients in the saucepan to ensure everything blends seamlessly without any lumps.
• Airtight Container or Mason Jar: This is perfect for storing the creamer in the fridge. I love using mason jars because they’re easy to clean, and you can store multiple batches at once!

Ingredients & Substitutions

For the Coffee Creamer:

• Heavy Cream: Adds the rich, creamy texture. If you’re dairy-free, you can substitute with coconut cream.
• Unsweetened Almond Milk: A low-carb, dairy-free base for the creamer. You can substitute with coconut milk or cashew milk if preferred.
• Vanilla Extract: Adds a hint of vanilla flavor. You can swap this for almond extract or hazelnut extract if you prefer different flavors.
• MCT Oil or Coconut Oil: These oils give your creamer a smooth, rich texture while providing a boost of healthy fats.
• Liquid Stevia or Monk Fruit Sweetener: A keto-friendly sweetener to add a touch of sweetness. You can use any sugar substitute you prefer, but make sure it’s keto-approved.

How to Make Keto Coffee Creamer

Step 1: Heat the Cream Base

1. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk. Heat over medium heat until it starts to steam, but don’t let it boil.

Step 2: Add the Flavorings

1. Once the cream mixture is heated, whisk in 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tbsp MCT oil (or coconut oil), and your choice of sweetener to taste. Start with a few drops of liquid stevia or monk fruit sweetener and adjust based on your preference.

Step 3: Stir and Simmer

1. Continue to whisk the mixture over low heat for about 1-2 minutes, making sure everything is well combined and the creamer is smooth.

Step 4: Cool and Store

1. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the creamer cool slightly before transferring it to a glass jar or bottle. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks.

Optional Additions

• Flavor Variations: Add a pinch of cinnamon, cocoa powder, or even a few drops of hazelnut extract to switch up the flavor profile.
• Sweeteners: Adjust the level of sweetness by adding more or less stevia, or use a different keto-approved sweetener like erythritol or xylitol.
