Dreaming of a cool and delicious mocha but watching your calorie intake? This Keurig iced mocha recipe is the answer! Made with chocolate almond milk and a dark roast espresso K-Cup, it delivers a satisfying chocolate coffee flavor without the guilt. Plus, it’s incredibly easy to whip up at home with your Keurig.
Ingredients
- 1 Dark Roast K-Cup pod
- Water
- Ice cubes
- 4 oz (½ cup) Chocolate Almond Milk (chilled)
- Sugar-Free Chocolate Syrup (optional)
- Whipped Cream (optional)
Instructions
- Brew Your Bold Base: Pop your dark roast K-Cup pod into your Keurig brewer. Fill the reservoir with fresh water and select the strongest brew size setting (typically 6oz). This will create a concentrated espresso-like base for your mocha.
- Chill Out: While your coffee is brewing, fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Leave about an inch of space at the top.
- Coffee Time: Carefully pour your freshly brewed dark roast coffee over the ice cubes.
- Chocolatey Goodness: Add the chilled chocolate almond milk to your iced coffee. For a stronger chocolate flavor, drizzle in some sugar-free chocolate syrup to taste.
- Creamy Finish (Optional): If desired, top your iced mocha with a dollop of whipped cream for a touch of indulgence (be aware this will increase the calorie count).
- Sip & Savor: Give your iced mocha a quick stir and enjoy this cool, refreshing, and low-calorie coffee treat!
Tips & Tricks
- No Dark Roast K-Cup? Use a regular K-Cup and add a teaspoon of cocoa powder to your brewed coffee before pouring over ice.
- Sweetness Control: The sugar content in this recipe comes primarily from the chocolate almond milk. Adjust the amount of milk or add sugar-free chocolate syrup to suit your taste preferences.
- Leftover Chocolate Almond Milk? Store the leftover chilled chocolate almond milk in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and use it for future iced coffee creations.
This Keurig Iced Mocha is the perfect way to cool down and enjoy a delicious coffee beverage without derailing your diet. So ditch the guilt, grab your Keurig, and whip up this refreshing treat anytime!
