Ingredients
- - 2 cups of unsweetened almond milk 480 ml
- - 2 tbsp of granulated erythritol 24g
- - 1/2 tsp ground ginger 1g
- - 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg 0.5g
- - 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon 0.5g
- - 1/4 tsp vanilla extract 1.2 ml
- - 2 shots of decaffeinated espresso 60 ml or strong brewed decaf coffee
- - Whipped cream keto-friendly for topping
- - A pinch of ground cloves <0.1g
- - Optional: Keto-friendly gingerbread cookie for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by heating the unsweetened almond milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. You want to warm the milk without bringing it to a boil.
- Once the almond milk is warm, add the granulated erythritol, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Whisk the mixture continuously to ensure the spices and sweetener are fully dissolved and incorporated into the milk.
- Prepare the decaffeinated espresso shots or strong brewed decaf coffee. If using a coffee machine, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to pull two espresso shots. Alternatively, use a French press or coffee maker to brew a strong decaf coffee.
- Divide the espresso or coffee between two mugs.
- Pour the spiced almond milk mixture over the espresso in each mug, creating a latte effect.
- Top each mug with a dollop of keto-friendly whipped cream and sprinkle with a pinch of ground cloves for that extra festive touch.
- If desired, garnish with a keto-friendly gingerbread cookie on the side of the mug or crumbled over the top.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the cozy flavors of a gingerbread latte in a mocktail form.
Notes
- Feel free to adjust the level of spices according to your taste preferences. More ginger will give a spicier kick, while additional cinnamon can add sweetness.
- If you're not following a strict keto diet, you can substitute the granulated erythritol with another sweetener of your choice. However, be mindful this will alter the carbohydrate content.
- For a nut-free version, coconut milk can be used in place of almond milk.
- Ensure that any garnish such as whipped cream or keto-friendly cookies fit within your dietary needs.
