Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Instant espresso powder
- 3 tablespoons Erythritol (granular sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Almond extract
- 0.75 cup Whiskey (Irish, such as Jameson)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and almond milk until well combined.
Add the instant espresso powder, erythritol, and unsweetened cocoa powder to the bowl. Whisk until the dry ingredients are completely dissolved and no clumps remain.
Stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract for added flavor depth.
Gently mix in the whiskey, a little at a time, to avoid curdling. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Taste, and adjust sweetness by adding more erythritol if necessary, stirring well after each addition.
Pour the mixture into a clean glass bottle or jar with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Shake well before serving. Enjoy over ice, in coffee, or in your favorite low-carb cocktails. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
