What sugar substitute should I use?
You can use any keto-friendly sweetener you prefer in this recipe. I used Swerve and it’s fantastic, but 6 of those 9 carbs come from the sweetener. If you’re curious about other common keto sweeteners, read this helpful post on keto sweeteners and how to convert them for recipes. It comes in handy!
If it’s sugar-free, it’s for me!
You could make your own caramel sauce like this recipe suggests, or grab a bottle of this Walden Farms Sugar-Free Caramel Syrup. I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious it is. It’s pretty sweet-tasting, perfect for a frappuccino!

OMG we made these this morning with the homemade keto caramel sauce, AMAZING. thanks for the tip on stronger coffee, we used espresso, also we used sukrin gold sweetener. Thank you for posting, we loved your video.
Yay! You are SO very welcome! Glad you enjoyed them!! Thanks a bunch for the sweet feedback!
I also used 2 shots of espresso and for the caramel I always use Watkins caramel extract, about 1/2 teaspoon is perfect and SO cheap! I also added 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract like the recipe suggested.
I’m confused, you say 3 tablespoons of heavy cream, divided. Divided usually means that ingredient is going to be used in two different parts of the recipe but it looks like its only used to beat into whipped cream. Can you explain?
You first whip all 3 Tbsp of heavy cream. It says divided because 2 Tbsp get added to the drink before mixing and 1Tbsp is added at the end for the topping. Hope this helps!
I was making this per the request of my teenage son who is on the Keto diet along with me. He likes things more on the sweeter side. So when we made the recipe as written it was not very sweet at all for him (or me). I usually don’t like things super sweet but this didn’t taste very sweet at all. We didn’t have the Walden’s Farm caramel sauce we only had Smuckers Sugar Free so I don’t know if that would make a difference but after we added more swerve and more caramel sauce it finally was to our liking. Also one other note, it wasn’t thick and frozen like the picture shows but more liquidy. We added more ice but it never really got there. The final taste was good and we plan on making it again with the adjustments.
I’m so glad you found modifications that worked for you! Thanks for stopping by!
