Cool, creamy, and perfectly keto — this iced coffee is the ultimate pick-me-up for warm days or slow mornings. Bold espresso meets silky cream for a smooth, sugar-free indulgence that keeps you energized without the carbs.
About This Recipe
Iced coffee is more than just a summer drink — it’s an energizing ritual. This Keto Iced Coffee with Cream keeps the tradition alive while making it completely sugar-free and low-carb. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a refreshing, café-style iced coffee at home without worrying about hidden sugars or carbs.
The magic lies in the contrast: bold, freshly brewed coffee poured over ice, swirled with rich heavy cream that blends in slowly for a marbled effect. Every sip is smooth, creamy, and perfectly balanced. Unlike coffeehouse drinks that come loaded with syrups and sweeteners, this keto version is clean, customizable, and made to fit your lifestyle.
Nutritionally, it’s spot on for keto. Coffee gives you the caffeine boost you need, while heavy cream adds healthy fats to keep you satisfied longer. If you want a sweeter touch, you can add your favorite keto-friendly sweetener without spiking carbs.
Inspired by classic café iced coffee, this recipe proves that simple really is best. It’s fast, versatile, and easily customizable — make it as bold, sweet, or creamy as you like.
