Directions

<ol class="no-list-style"><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>In a measuring jug, combine the cold brew coffee, cocoa powder, and your preferred keto sweetener. Whisk thoroughly until the cocoa powder is completely dissolved - this may take 1-2 minutes of continuous stirring as cocoa can be resistant to blending in cold liquids. For smoother results, consider dissolving the cocoa in 30ml of hot water first, then cooling before adding to the coffee.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>Add the coconut milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract to your coffee-chocolate mixture. For a perfectly blended beverage with rich texture, use a milk frother or blender on low speed for 20-30 seconds. This creates a smoother emulsion where the fats from the coconut milk and cream incorporate fully with the coffee.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>Fill your tall glass ¾ full with ice cubes. Pour your mocha mixture slowly over the ice, allowing it to cascade beautifully into the glass. The slow pour helps preserve the frothy texture you've created and prevents the ice from melting too quickly, which would dilute your drink.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>If desired, top with a generous dollop of fresh whipped cream (unsweetened to maintain keto-friendliness) and dust lightly with cocoa powder for a professional finishing touch. The contrast between the cold mocha and fluffy cream creates a delightful temperature and texture experience.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>For best results, serve immediately while the drink is perfectly chilled and the layers are distinct. The flavors will meld as you sip, creating a progressively richer taste experience. For an extra special touch, pair with a square of 85% or higher dark chocolate on the side.</li></ol>

This simple process creates a barista-quality low-carb treat in just 10 minutes.

Can I use regular milk instead of coconut milk in this keto-friendly drink?

Yes, you can use regular milk, but it will increase the carb content. For a keto-friendly version, stick with full-fat coconut milk or heavy cream. Unsweetened almond milk is another low-carb alternative that works well but provides less creaminess.

What's the best type of coffee to use for a rich, flavourful mocha?

Cold brew coffee works best as it offers less acidity and a smoother taste. Use a dark or medium-dark roast for the richest chocolate pairing. For convenience, cooled espresso also works brilliantly, adding intensity to the final drink.

How can I make this mocktail sweeter while keeping it low-carb?

Increase sweetness whilst maintaining keto-friendliness by adding more liquid stevia drops or erythritol to taste. You can also use monk fruit sweetener, allulose, or a blend of keto sweeteners. Adjust gradually until you achieve your preferred level of sweetness.
