Pro Tips
• Pro-Tips for the Perfect Keto Coffee
• For an extra hot coffee, gently reheat the blended mixture in the microwave for 30 seconds before serving.
• Always start blending hot liquids on a low speed to prevent the lid from popping off due to steam pressure, then gradually increase to high.
• Ensure you use hydrolyzed gelatin (also called collagen peptides). Regular gelatin will cause your coffee to turn into a solid gel as it cools.
• Customize your brew with a drop of vanilla extract, a pinch of nutmeg, or a dash of unsweetened cocoa powder for a mocha variation.
FAQ
Q: Why put egg yolks in coffee
A: Adding egg yolks to coffee creates a luxuriously creamy and frothy texture similar to a latte. They also provide a powerful nutritional boost of healthy fats, protein, and essential nutrients to fuel your brain and provide sustained energy.
Q: Will the hot coffee cook the egg yolks
A: The hot coffee and the high-speed blending process emulsify the egg yolks, creating a smooth, creamy consistency without scrambling them. For best results, use a high-speed blender as instructed to ensure they are fully incorporated.
Q: Can I use regular gelatin instead of hydrolyzed gelatin
A: No, you must use hydrolyzed gelatin, also known as collagen peptides. Regular gelatin will cause your coffee to solidify into a gel as it cools. Hydrolyzed gelatin dissolves completely in hot liquid and adds protein without changing the texture.
Q: Is this coffee keto-friendly
A: Yes, this recipe is perfect for a ketogenic diet. It is high in healthy fats from butter and coconut oil, contains a good amount of protein, and is very low in net carbs, making it an ideal way to start a keto day.
