How to Make Cherry Mocha Coffee Low Carb

  1. Brew 8 oz of your favorite coffee.
  2. While the coffee brews, prepare the whipped cream: In a chilled bowl, add 1 cup of cold heavy whipping cream, 2 tbsp Splenda (or sugar), 1 tsp almond extract, and 1/2 tsp cherry extract.
  3. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream until soft peaks form. Avoid over-whipping; it will turn to butter.
  4. Pour the hot coffee into a large mug.
  5. Add 1 tbsp of unsweetened cocoa powder to the coffee.
  6. Gently spoon the whipped cream on top of the coffee mixture.
  7. Stir well to combine all ingredients. For best results, mix thoroughly.
  8. If making multiple servings with varying sweetness preferences, prepare the whipped cream without sweetener. Add sweetener to individual mugs, mixing a bit of coffee with the sweetener before adding the cream and remaining coffee.
