Description
A rich, creamy, sugar-free coffee creamer made with collagen, vanilla, and keto-friendly sweeteners. Perfect for low-carb lifestyles and ready in just 20 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream (or full-fat coconut milk)
- 1/3 cup allulose
- 1/3 cup Swerve Confectioners
- 1/2 vanilla bean (optional)
- 1/3 cup collagen protein powder
- 3/4 cup hemp milk (or almond milk)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Additional sweetener, to taste
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and both sweeteners. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then remove from heat.
- If using a vanilla bean, split it and scrape out the seeds. Add both seeds and pod to the saucepan. Cover and let steep for 20 minutes. After steeping, remove and discard the vanilla pod.
- Whisk in the collagen protein powder, hemp milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Taste and add more sweetener if desired. Let the creamer cool completely.
- Transfer to a glass jar or airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before each use.
Notes
- Use full-fat coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
- Steeping with a vanilla bean adds deep flavor, but extract alone works well too.
- Shake or stir well before each use as separation may occur.
- Adjust sweetness to taste depending on your preferred level and type of sweetener.
