Equipment

  • Espresso machine or coffee brewer
  • Saucepan
  • Measuring spoons
  • Coffee cup
  • Spoon for stirring

Ingredients

  • 1 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee 8 fl oz/240 ml
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 14g/0.5 oz
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream 30ml
  • ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk 60ml
  • 1 tablespoon sugar-free caramel syrup 15ml
  • Whipped cream optional for topping
  • Sugar-free caramel sauce for drizzle, optional

Instructions

  • Begin by brewing your espresso or strong coffee. If using a coffee machine, prepare a double shot of espresso. Alternatively, use a French press or any method you prefer to brew a strong cup of coffee.
  • In a saucepan over low heat, gently warm the heavy cream and almond milk together. Be careful not to boil, just heat until it's warm and steamy.
  • While the milk mixture is warming, add the butter and sugar-free caramel syrup to your coffee cup.
  • Pour the hot coffee into the cup, over the butter and caramel syrup, and stir until the butter is completely melted and the mixture is well combined.
  • Slowly add the warmed milk mixture to the coffee, stirring continuously to create a creamy texture.
  • If desired, top with a dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of sugar-free caramel sauce for an extra indulgent touch.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy your keto-friendly caramel macchiato.

Notes

Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less sugar-free caramel syrup.
For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with coconut oil and heavy cream with coconut cream.
Remember to check the labels of your sugar-free syrups and caramel sauce for any hidden carbs to ensure they fit within your daily keto macros.
