Calories: 100-130 calories, depending on the milk and sweetener options.
Ingredients:
- 1 Crazy Cups Black Forest Chocolate Cherry Coffee Pod (regular or decaf)
- 6 oz hot water
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred low-calorie milk alternative)
- 1-2 drops vanilla extract
- Sweetener of choice (optional: stevia, monk fruit, or a small drizzle of honey)
For the Low-Cal Whipped Cream
- ½ cup cold non-dairy whipping cream ( we recommend using coconut cream or almond-based whipping cream)
- 1 tsp powdered erythritol or another calorie-free sweetener
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Optional Garnish
- A sprinkle of cocoa powder or freeze-dried or maraschino cherries
Instructions
- Brew the coffee: Use your Crazy Cups Black Forest Chocolate Cherry Pod to brew 6 oz of hot coffee.
- Warm the milk: In a small saucepan, heat the almond milk and mix in vanilla extract on low until warm (don’t let it boil).
- Froth the milk: Use a milk frother or whisk to create a light, foamy texture.
- Combine: Pour the brewed coffee into a mug, then slowly add the frothed milk. Stir gently.
- Prepare the whipped cream:
- Chill a mixing bowl and whisk in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
- Add the non-dairy whipping cream to the chilled bowl. Using an electric mixer, whisk on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
- Add powdered erythritol and vanilla extract, then continue to whisk until stiff peaks form.
- Top and serve: Spoon the whipped cream over the latte and garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or crushed freeze-dried cherries.
- Enjoy: Sip and savor the chocolate-cherry goodness with a fluffy whipped cream finish!
