Low Carb & Sugar Free Caramel Mocha Frappuccino Drink/Dessert (With Non-Dairy & Other Flavor Options)

This gourmet beverage is a
creamy and satisfying dessert!
Ingredients:
1 1/3 cups strong regular or decaf coffee, chilled
1/2 cup coconut or almond milk (from a carton, not canned)
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream*
1/4 cup sugar free caramel syrup**
4 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder**
10 drops chocolate liquid sweetener (optional)***
2 cups ice
sugar free whipped cream (optional)****
shaved or grated sugar free dark chocolate bar (optional)

Method:
Add the coffee, milk, cream, syrup, cocoa and ice to a blender carafe. Bend until smooth. Divide between 2 or 3 tall glasses. If desired, garnish with whipped cream and shaved chocolate. Makes two 16 ounce or three 10.6 ounce frappuccino drinks.

*For a non-dairy option, substitute canned coconut cream for the heavy cream.
**For different flavors, try different syrups, or omit the syrup and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 3 to 4 teaspoons of a granulated sweetener. (Or 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of almond or peppermint.) The cocoa powder can also be omitted, which lowers the net carbs by about 1 gram per drink.
***I use Lakanto liquid Monkfruit drops, because they have the best taste. Vanilla or unflavored drops can be used to enhance different flavors. 
****For perfect sugar free whipped cream, beat together 1 cup heavy whipping cream, 3 tablespoons Lakanto Classic sweetener and one envelope "Whip It".
Makes 2 cups. (1/4 cup = approximately 102 calories, 11 grams fat, 0.8 grams net carbs & 0,85 grams protein.)


Dr Oetker Whip It is very low carb and helps whipped cream  hold it's shape. It can
be purchased online, at World Market or at German & European specialty food stores.
