It’s been a beautiful, lazy weekend here so far, fueled by lots of coffee. One of the biggest upsides to Keto to me is being able to make creamy, decadent coffee drinks with no guilt. I consider coffee a treat, a snack and sometimes even dessert. Occasionally, an iced coffee even works for me as a meal replacement but maybe I shouldn’t brag about that. I typically drank my coffee black, with sugar before starting Keto. Super simple, no frills. Little did I know back then, that just those teaspoons of sugar were really adding up and practically wrecking my health.

It’s so amazing to me how my tastes have changed since starting this new way of life. I used to want my coffee as black as I could get it and basically thought it was ruined if creamers were added. Now, most mornings, I take my coffee with Heavy Whipping Cream and no sweeteners. Other times throughout the day, I make iced coffees and use sugar free syrups. These may not be considered strict Keto, but it’s one of my little indulgences. For this, I love to use Torani Sugar Free Syrups. These can be found in most grocery stores and also on Amazon. Here’s a link for a large bottle of my favorite flavor, the Hazelnut. Torani Syrup, Sugar Free Classic Hazelnut, 25.4 oz

My new love for creamy coffee drinks led me to coming up with this drink that I could have as a dessert. Disclaimer time though, this little recipe I’m about to share is so ridiculously simple, but so great after a meal when your sweet tooth is asking for a little something.

This is a black coffee, with a whipped hazelnut and chocolate topping that melts into the coffee, creating a delicious, creamy Mocha. This is an easy recipe with the ingredients listed for only one serving. However, this would be easy to make multiple servings by increasing the amounts of the topping ingredients and brewing a whole pot of coffee.
