Keto Caramel Frappe is a creamy and cold beverage while remaining on a keto diet. We make this frappe with a few different kinds of ingredients, such as brewed coffee, keto almond milk, heavy whipping cream, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, keto caramel syrup, and ice cubes. All these components are basic that you can easily purchase from stores and markets, or maybe you have them in your home. This frappe contains 160 kcal of calories and two g of net carbs in one glass of a portion. Keto Caramel Frappe is perfect for weekday mornings, brunch, appetizers, parties, family gatherings, cold drinks, and beverages. You can easily prepare this frappe in only five minutes. This dish will separate, and the texture will change due to ice crystallization, so we do not recommend freezing it. Serve this Keto Caramel Frappe with keto biscotti & fat bombs.

INGREDIENT NOTES:
ALMOND MILK (UNSWEETENED):
- This milk maintains the low-carb content of this cold drink and provides a mild nutty taste. You can use the macadamia milk, diluted heavy cream, or unsweetened coconut milk as an alternative to make a creamy texture.
KETO CARAMEL SYRUP:
- It provides the flavor of caramel and a sweet taste. We can swap it out with the vanilla extract with a small amount of keto sweetener or use a homemade keto caramel made with cream and erythritol.
BREWED COFFEE:
- This helps in making the foundation of this frappe and gives a deep caffeine taste. I use instant coffee dissolved in cold water, cold brew, or decaf coffee in place of it.
ERYTHRITOL POWDER:
- This frappe is sweetened using this sweetener powder. The sweet taste can also be obtained by substituting stevia or monk fruit sweetener.
HEAVY CREAM:
- This cream has a powerful flavor, is fattening, and serves as a foundation for this dish. Heavy cream is used instead of milk in this frappe. I replace the dairy in this recipe with high-fat coconut cream.
VANILLA EXTRACT:
- It boosts the flavor and gives it a naturally sweet taste. Instead of using keto, use almond flour.

INSTRUCTIONS:

- Blend for half a second on high speed till the mixture becomes thick, frothy, and smoother.
- You can taste and adjust the caramel flavor or sweetness if needed.
- Then blend them completely.
- Pour into a chilled glass and serve immediately.
- Fill a chilled glass with this caramel frappe and serve quickly if you want.
TIPS:
- Completely blend the sweeteners to prevent the texture from getting grainy.
- We utilize very cold coffee to avoid the extra melting of the ice.

FAQs:
Can I sweeten this dish?
- Yes, you can taste and adjust the keto sweetener as you want to add sweetness.
Will I prepare this drink with hot coffee?
- No, hot coffee melts the ice rapidly and thins the consistency of this frappe; use the cold or chilled brew coffee.
Could I prepare this beverage without using a blender?
- Yes, we can make it in the shaker bottle along with crushed ice, but it doesn’t provide the same thickness, so using a blender will work perfectly.
