Let’s get started!
What You’ll Need
Ingredients:
- 1 cup freshly brewed iced coffee (cold brew or chilled coffee)
- ¼ cup heavy cream (or unsweetened almond milk for a lighter option)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons pecan butter (or finely blended roasted pecans)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons keto-friendly sweetener (monk fruit, stevia, or erythritol)
- A pinch of sea salt (enhances the buttery flavor)
- Ice cubes (as needed)
- Chopped toasted pecans (for garnish, optional)
Tools:
- Blender or milk frother (for the creamiest texture)
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Tall serving glass
- Straw (optional, for sipping in style!)
Pro Tips
- Use cold brew for a smoother, less acidic taste.
- Blend for a creamy, latte-like texture. If you don’t have a blender, melt the butter before stirring into your coffee.
- For extra froth, add a pinch of xanthan gum or collagen powder while blending.
- Toast the pecans before blending to bring out their deep, buttery aroma.
- Make it dairy-free by substituting heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk.
Substitutions and Variations
- Dairy-Free Option: Swap butter for ghee or coconut oil and use coconut milk instead of heavy cream.
- Extra Nutty Flavor: Add ½ teaspoon almond extract.
- Protein Boost: Blend in 1 scoop of vanilla or caramel-flavored keto protein powder.
- Mocha Twist: Add 1 teaspoon cocoa powder for a chocolatey butter pecan mocha.
How to Make It
1. Blend the Butter Pecan Base
In a blender, combine butter, pecan butter, heavy cream, vanilla extract, keto sweetener, and sea salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
2. Add Coffee and Ice
Pour in iced coffee and a handful of ice cubes. Blend again until fully incorporated and frothy.
3. Serve and Garnish
Pour into a tall glass, top with chopped toasted pecans, and enjoy with a straw.
Leftovers and Storage
- Best enjoyed fresh for maximum frothy texture.
- If making ahead, store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake or blend before serving.
