Indulge guilt-free with this Sugar-Free Caramel Coffee recipe, a perfect blend of rich, bold coffee and creamy almond milk topped with homemade sugar-free caramel syrup. Crafted with a health-conscious twist, this recipe swaps traditional sugar for a granulated sugar substitute like erythritol or monk fruit, ensuring a sweet treat without the added carbs. The buttery, golden caramel sauce simmers to perfection, infused with a hint of vanilla and a touch of salt for a balanced and indulgent flavor. With just 10 minutes of prep and 15 minutes of cooking, you can whip up this comforting, barista-style beverage right in your kitchen. Whether you're following a keto diet or simply cutting back on sugar, this creamy, aromatic coffee is the ultimate guilt-free pick-me-up.
Begin by brewing a strong cup of coffee using your preferred method. Set aside once brewed.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar substitute and water. Stir occasionally until the sweetener is completely dissolved.
Add the butter and salt to the saucepan. Continue to stir gently until the butter has melted and the mixture starts to simmer.
Allow the mixture to simmer without stirring for about 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens slightly and turns golden brown.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the caramel sauce to cool slightly.
In another small saucepan, heat the unsweetened almond milk over medium heat until warm but not boiling. Froth the milk using a milk frother or by vigorously whisking by hand.
Pour the brewed coffee into a large mug, then add the cooled sugar-free caramel syrup and stir well to combine.
Gently pour the frothed almond milk over the top of the coffee mixture.
Optionally, sprinkle a bit of extra sweetener on top or an additional pinch of salt for enhanced flavor.
Enjoy your delightful and aromatic sugar-free caramel coffee!
