Keto Irish Coffee
Everyone knows what Irish coffee is! Follow this simple recipe to make your own Irish cream at home. You’ll be amazed to see it’s as simple as heating together a few ingredients on the stove. Add your favorite brand of whiskey or scotch to the Irish cream to make your Keto alcoholic drink recipe. Then, pour the Irish cream into a mug of brewed coffee. You can choose your favorite coffee brand or type to complete your drink. If you’re looking for a reason to indulge, enjoy an Irish coffee on a Sunday when you have nowhere to be or serve a tray of Irish coffee on a holiday morning or afternoon. You can use this Keto recipe during the holiday season or whenever your body needs something to warm it up from the inside out!
What’s in Irish cream?
Irish cream that you buy in the stores is a blend of heavy cream, sugar, and subtle chocolate and coffee flavors. You’ll likely want to avoid the type of Irish cream that can be bought off shelves because it may include high amounts of sugar or non-Keto sugar substitutes. That’s why making your own Irish cream by following this recipe is the healthier choice. There’s no added sugar and it tastes just the same as the name brands!
How to make the drink more Keto
Want to make your Keto alcoholic drink more worthwhile? Have you ever tried one of Carb Manager’s Keto butter coffee recipes? Simply add a ½-tablespoon of full fat, unsalted butter to your coffee for more fats. Stir the butter until it’s melted or use a milk frother to quickly emulsify the butter into your drink. The butter flavor will complement the whiskey and chocolate flavors too.

10 min
Step 1
Combine heavy cream, stevia drops, cocoa powder, raw coffee grounds, and vanilla extract in a small pot on the stove. Stir and heat the ingredients over low heat until the cream is hot and you can break the cocoa powder and coffee up into the liquid. Don’t let the cream reach boiling, since you’re most likely working with a small amount of Irish cream.Step 2
After the cream is heated, remove it from the stove and pour a whiskey of your choice into the cream. Stir the ingredients together and set them aside to cool. Meanwhile, brew an 8 fl oz cup of coffee (or any amount of coffee you want to drink).Step 3
Pour the warm Irish cream into your coffee, and stir everything together once more. At this point, you can add other ingredients to your coffee that you enjoy like non-dairy milk, more cream, or even a pat of butter to make your drink more ‘Keto’. At your discretion, include more liquid stevia or another favorite Keto sweetener to sweeten the coffee.
