Keto Brown Sugar Latte

Last week you all became baristas with my Keto Pumpkin Whipped Coffee (Dalgona) and y’all loved it so much that I just had to try my hand at another fancy coffee (that’s actually super easy!). You will not believe how awesome this Keto Brown Sugar Latte tastes! I suggest you make a coffee date right now so you can show off your new skills with a few fun friends!

How to Make This Keto Brown Sugar Latte

There are just a couple of steps to make this tastes-like-a-coffee-shop-iced-latte come to life. But first, you might be wondering how “brown sugar” can be keto compliant. Brands like Swerve and Lakanto make monk fruit brown sugar which is a 1:1 sugar substitute with no carbs and no calories! Tastes amazing and totally guilt-free!

Tips & Tricks for Keto Brown Sugar Latte

Milk: This recipe is dairy-free, however, if you’re fine with dairy, you can use regular milk, heavy cream, or half and half. Just be aware that the carb count will differ depending on which dairy substitute you choose.

Espresso: You can use a Nespresso or Espresso machine to get your shots of espresso, or a Moka Pot, which is a way to make espresso on the stove. I use Illy Ground Espresso Beans, and I love the taste! I don’t recommend using instant coffee for this recipe.

Shaker: Before serving, I like to add the ingredients into a shaker with ice to cool down the espresso and not have it melt the ice in my glass. Simply shake the ingredients with ice in the shaker, and then strain into a tall glass filled with ice.
