Keto Vietnamese Coffee Cà Phê Sữa Đá

Our favorite coffee drink is Vietnamese coffee with sweetened condensed milk. The Keto version features a homemade sweetened condensed milk made with coconut cream. The coconut cream is placed at the bottom of a glass and topped with a phin filter filled with finely ground dark roasted coffee. Cafe de Monde is the classic ground coffee used in this recipe, but we prefer using a dark French roast coffee.

Can you use something other than coconut cream?

Yes! Feel free to use heavy cream instead of coconut cream.

How do you use a phin filter, and where do you find one?

You can find one at your local Asian market or on large online retailers like Amazon. A phin filter is easy to use. There is a filter that fits inside the canister. The tighter you screw the filter, the slower the coffee will drip and the stronger it will be. If you want your coffee to be weaker in flavor, do not screw the filter in as tightly. However, Vietnamese coffee is supposed to be very strong to pair with the sweet condensed milk.

Coconut Cream (liquid From Grated Meat)

14 ounce
The Ultimate Icing Sugar Replacement by Swerve

1 cup
HT Traders Coffee French Roast Whole Bean

26 tablespoon
Water

9-¾ cup

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine the coconut cream and powdered erythritol with a whisk. Whisking will help blend the coconut fat with the coconut water (if it wasn’t mixed well previously) and remove any lumps from the sweetener. Place the pot over medium heat and sprinkle the xanthan gum over the top when the mixture starts to get hot but not simmering yet.
Step 2

Continue to heat the coconut cream mixture until it is beginning to thicken. Once it starts to thicken, allow it to cook for another 30 seconds to one minute, then remove it from the heat. Continue to whisk as the mixture will continue to thicken.
Step 3

Place one ounce of the hot coconut milk mixture into the bottom of a coffee cup. Place the phin filter on top filled with about 2 tbsp of ground coffee (add more or less depending on your preference). Screw the filter into the phin tightly for a more robust coffee.
Step 4

Add ¾ cup of boiling water into the phin filter. You may have to add the first half and then the second half. The whole drip process should take about 1 minute; if it is going faster than that, the coffee will be too weak.
Step 5

Once the coffee has finished dripping, give everything a good stir. Repeat to make more servings. Serve immediately!
