Ingredients
• (Serves 2)
• 1/2 cup / 120 ml freshly brewed strong espresso
• 1/4 cup / 60 ml full-fat canned coconut milk
• Pinch of cinnamon or unsweetened raw cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
1. Brew your espresso and divide it between two mugs.
2. Pour the cold coconut milk into a separate jug. Use a handheld milk frother to whip it until it’s thick and bubbly, nearly doubling in volume.
3. Gently heat the frothed milk in a small saucepan or in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds. Do not let it boil.
4. Slowly pour the heated liquid milk into the espresso, using a spatula or spoon to hold back the thick foam.
5. Spoon the remaining foam over the top of the cappuccino. Dust with a pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder and serve immediately.

Pro Tips
• For the best, most stable foam, use full-fat coconut milk from a can, not a carton. Chill the can beforehand and use the thick cream that rises to the top.
• Frothing the coconut milk while it’s cold before heating helps create a stiffer, more voluminous foam.
• If you prefer a sweeter coffee, add a few drops of liquid Stevia or your favorite keto-friendly sweetener to the espresso before adding the milk.
• To practice your latte art, gently tap the jug of frothed milk on the counter to pop any large bubbles, creating a smoother, microfoam texture.
FAQ
Q: Can I use coconut milk from a carton for this recipe
A: For the best and most stable foam, this recipe requires full-fat coconut milk from a can, not a carton. Chilling the can and using the thick cream that rises to the top will give you the most luxurious, velvety texture.
Q: Is this coconut cappuccino sweet
A: This recipe is naturally unsweetened to keep it keto-friendly. If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add a few drops of liquid Stevia or your favorite low-carb sweetener to the espresso before adding the milk.
Q: Why do I froth the coconut milk when it’s cold
A: Frothing the coconut milk while it is cold helps create a stiffer, more voluminous, and more stable foam. You gently heat it after frothing to warm the cappuccino without causing the foam to collapse.
Q: What can I use if I don’t have an espresso machine
A: If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can substitute it with an equal amount of very strongly brewed coffee. Coffee from a Moka pot or an AeroPress are excellent alternatives for achieving a rich, concentrated flavor.
