German Chocolate Cake Cold Brew Low Carb Coffee Drink (1)

In the summer and early fall there is nothing better to me than a glass of iced coffee or tea in the afternoon. Have you ever had cold brew coffee? I like it because it’s less acidic than hot brewed which sometimes bothers my stomach. You can find cold brew coffee just about anywhere and I’ve even made it at home.

I make a big container and keep it in the fridge for a nice afternoon treat like this German chocolate cake cold brew low carb coffee drink. Just a couple spoonfuls of sugar free syrups and coconut milk and you got yourself a tasty low carb drink!

And of course it’s even better with some whipped coconut cream and toasted coconut flakes on top!

The Secret To Great Low Carb Coffee Drinks – Torani Syrups!

I think you all know I love my Torani Sugar Free Syrups. I like that they are made with natural flavors, sweetened with sucralose and that they have a huge selection to pick from on their website. So I was excited when Torani gave me a few complimentary bottles to try.

However I have a huge selection myself and I’ve found lots of things to make with them over the years. If you want to know about any of the flavors (I think I’ve tried them all) drop me a comment and I’ll give you my opinion.

Now For My Keto Coffee Drink Recipe.

The cold brew coffee recipe is quite simple. I used the flavors that made this taste like German chocolate cake to me: chocolate, nuts and coconut.

Just add a teaspoon or two of Torani sugar freechocolate macadamia nut and sugar freehazelnut syrups to your cup of cold brew along with a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa.
I used a shaker bottle I had on hand but you can do that in a blender if you want to mix it up well.
Then pour over ice and add a tablespoon or two of coconut milk.
Lastly you can top it with some whipped coconut cream and toasted coconut flakes if you wish.

**Or If You Prefer A Low Carb Coffee co*cktail**

Messaging below is intended forages 21+

And if you want to have your dessert in a co*cktail form:

Add 1 shot of good vodka to 3 shots of cold brew.
Next add 1 shot of coconut milk or even coconut cream.
Lastly add a teaspoon each of the Sugar Free S’mores, Hazelnut and Chocolate Macadamia Nut syrups.

That’s a drink that should keep you going all night!

So I hope you like this simple but tasty low carb drink I have for you today. The chocolate, coconut and nuttiness of the syrups all add up to make you feel like your taking a bite of a piece of German chocolate cake with the none of the calories or carbs!

Yum, this sounds wonderful! I also love using syrups like this – my personal favorite is a splash of sugar-free hazelnut in my morning latte. I never knew that cold brew coffee is less acidic than regular coffee – very interesting!

Rather than a co*cktail I’d call this a lo-cal energy booster. WOW!! I’d love to have one of those in the afternoons, it certainly would be something to look forward to and then the energy punch it would give would be great.
