Ingredients
• ⅔ cup / 158 ml Keto Eggnog
• ⅓ cup / 79 ml unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tbsp / 24 g confectioners’ style erythritol sweetener
• 2 shots / 60 ml hot decaffeinated espresso or ½ cup / 118 ml strong brewed decaf coffee
• Pinch of ground nutmeg, for garnish
• Melted ghee, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Heat the Base: Pour the keto eggnog, almond milk, and sweetener into a small saucepan. Heat over medium-high for 2-3 minutes, until the mixture just begins to bubble at the edges.
2. Froth to Perfection: Remove the pan from the heat. Using an immersion blender or a handheld milk frother, blend the mixture until it becomes airy and doubles in volume.
3. Assemble the Latte: Pour the hot espresso or coffee into an 8-ounce mug. Gently pour the frothed eggnog mixture into the coffee, using a spoon to hold back the thickest foam.
4. Garnish and Enjoy: Spoon the remaining foam over the top. Finish with a sprinkle of ground nutmeg and a drizzle of melted ghee, if desired. Serve immediately for the best experience.

• For an extra decadent latte, swap the almond milk for an equal amount of heavy whipping cream or full-fat canned coconut milk.
• Add a ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract or a drop of rum extract to the saucepan for a deeper, more complex flavor.
