Brew 2 cups of strong coffee using your preferred method and set aside.
In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk over medium heat until it begins to steam, but do not boil.
Add 1 tablespoon of heavy cream and 0.5 teaspoon of almond extract to the almond milk and stir well.
Remove the saucepan from heat and use a milk frother or immersion blender to froth the almond milk mixture until it is light and foamy.
Divide the brewed coffee between two coffee mugs, filling each halfway.
Equally divide the frothy almond milk mixture between the two mugs, pouring it over the coffee.
Sweeten each cup with 0.5 tablespoon of erythritol sweetener, adjusting to taste.
Mix 0.5 teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder and 0.25 teaspoon of cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle a pinch over each cappuccino for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb almond cappuccino.
