Method

Tap a time to watch that step in the video.

  1. Put 1 tbsp instant coffee powder, 1 tbsp powdered erythritol and 1 tbsp boiling water in a bowl: equal parts of each. It must be instant coffee; brewed coffee or espresso won't whip. 2:04
  2. Whip with an electric beater until it froths, then turns thick, creamy and lighter in colour, like whipped cream that holds on the bowl. A hand whisk works too but takes several minutes. 3:16
  3. Pour 50 ml heavy cream into a glass and thin it with a splash of water so it is more like milk. Add ice cubes. 4:17
  4. Spoon the whipped coffee on top, scraping out every bit, and smooth it over. Stir it into the cold cream before you drink it. 4:59

Tip. The foam is strong and sweet on its own, so mix it in well. For a non-keto version, use milk instead of the cream and water.

Vitamin A High23%

Omega-39%

0.1 g a serve, mostly from heavy cream (100%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.

Vitamin B124%

0.1 µg a serve, mostly from heavy cream (100%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.

Potassium3%

150 mg a serve, mostly from instant coffee powder (69%). Balances sodium to help control blood pressure and keeps muscles and nerves working. Beans, potatoes, leafy greens and fruit are rich sources.

Calcium3%

37 mg a serve, mostly from heavy cream (89%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.

Magnesium3%

13 mg a serve, mostly from instant coffee powder (74%). Takes part in hundreds of reactions — energy, muscles, nerves, blood sugar and bones. Nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains are good sources.

Vitamin E3%

0.5 mg a serve, mostly from heavy cream (100%). An antioxidant that protects cell membranes. Nuts, seeds and plant oils such as olive oil are the main sources.

Selenium3%

1.9 µg a serve, mostly from heavy cream (80%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.

Vitamin D2%

0.3 µg a serve, mostly from heavy cream (100%). Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.

Iron1%

0.2 mg a serve, mostly from instant coffee powder (73%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.

Zinc1%

0.1 mg a serve, mostly from heavy cream (90%). Needed for immunity, wound healing, taste and growth. Meat, seafood, legumes, seeds and whole grains supply it.

Vitamin K1%

1.7 µg a serve, mostly from heavy cream (97%). Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.

Vitamin B61%

0 mg a serve, mostly from heavy cream (94%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.

Vitamin C0%

0.3 mg a serve, mostly from heavy cream (100%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.

Folate0%

2 µg a serve, mostly from heavy cream (100%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.
