Ingredients:
- 1 cup Heavy Cream (Double Cream, 35%+ fat content)
- 4 Tbsp Unsalted Butter (Cold, cut into 4 pieces)
- 2 Tbsp MCT Oil
- 3 Tbsp Granular Sweetener (Erythritol, Monk Fruit, or preferred keto blend)
- 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1/8 tsp Fine Sea Salt
Instructions:
- Combine Cream and Butter: Place the heavy cream and cubed unsalted butter into a small saucepan.
- Heat Gently: Set the pan over medium-low heat. Stir gently and continuously until the butter is completely melted and the mixture is warm, but do not allow it to boil or simmer aggressively.
- Dissolve Sweetener: Once the fats are combined and warm, add the granular sweetener and the pinch of sea salt. Whisk vigorously for 1 minute until the sweetener is fully dissolved and no gritty residue remains.
- Remove from Heat: Take the saucepan off the hob immediately.
- Add Cold Liquids: Stir in the MCT oil and the vanilla extract. The mixture may look slightly separated at this stage; this is normal.
- Achieve Velvety Texture (Emulsification): Using an immersion blender (or standard blender), blend on medium speed for 30–60 seconds until the mixture is perfectly homogenous, lighter in color, and slightly increased in volume.
- Cool Down and Store: Transfer the creamer concentrate immediately to an airtight storage jar. Allow it to cool on the counter for about 30 minutes before sealing and refrigerating for up to 10 days.
- To serve: Brew 1 cup (240 ml) of hot coffee. Scoop 1 to 1.5 tablespoons (15–22 ml) of the chilled, thickened creamer concentrate into the mug. Pour the hot coffee over the creamer. For maximum froth, use a small hand-held milk frother directly in the mug to mix for 10 seconds before serving.
