Chè Cà Phê

Chè Cà Phê is a delightful Vietnamese dessert that combines the rich flavors of coffee with creamy coconut milk, making it a perfect low-carb treat. This refreshing dish is served cold, offering a unique balance of sweetness and bitterness while being keto-friendly.

Ingredients

• Strong brewed coffee - 200 ml
• Coconut milk (unsweetened) - 100 ml
• Erythritol (or preferred low-carb sweetener) - 2 tablespoons
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Chia seeds - 2 tablespoons
• Ice cubes - as needed

Steps

1. Brew a strong cup of coffee and let it cool to room temperature.
2. In a bowl, mix the coconut milk, erythritol, and vanilla extract until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
3. Add chia seeds to the coconut milk mixture and stir well. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
4. Once the coffee is cooled, prepare serving glasses by filling them with ice cubes.
5. Pour the chia coconut mixture over the ice, followed by the cooled coffee, layering them for a visually appealing effect.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy your Chè Cà Phê cold.
