Ingredients
I called my local Starbucks to see what was in their chocolate cream cold brew. The barista informed me that they use their sweet cream recipe plus chocolate malt milk powder. Then they have vanilla syrup in the cold brew.
Below is what I used to make this delicious drink sugar-free, low-carb, keto, and gluten-free friendly.
- Cocoa Powder
- Heavy Whipping Cream
- Unsweetened Nut Milk, such as almond or milkadamia
- Vanilla Extract
- Liquid Monk Fruit Sweetener
- Cold Brew Coffee
- Optional Malted Milk Powder (contains gluten and sugar)
See the recipe card for quantities.
Substitutions
Liquid Monk Fruit
If you do not have liquid monk fruit you can use a powdered erythritol and monk fruit mix. Start with 1/2 tablespoon in the chocolate cream mixture.
You can also use liquid stevia instead of monk fruit.
Liquid sugar-free sweeteners are best for the sweeteners in the cold brew coffee part.
Vanilla Extract and Liquid Sweetener Replacements
Using sugar-free vanilla syrup would replace both the monk fruit and vanilla extract. Use 1/2 to 1 tablespoon in the coffee and 1/2 tablespoon in the frothed chocolate cream.
Liquid monk fruit comes in flavor options. Therefore, you can purchase liquid vanilla monk fruit. If you use this instead just leave out the vanilla extract and keep the same amounts for the monk fruit.
If you like stevia over monk fruit, you can also purchase liquid vanilla stevia.
Heavy Cream and Milk
To replace the nut milk and heavy whipping cream, you can use all half and half in the recipe, to give it the same creaminess.
Malted Milk Powder
Starbucks’ original recipe for the chocolate cream cold brew does contain malted milk powder, however, I left out this ingredient to keep this recipe gluten-free. Also, some people on keto like to stay away from wheat and this powder contains wheat flour and barley.
To keep this recipe truely sugar-free, there needs to be no malted milk powder as well. The powder contains added sugar.
If you are okay with wheat, barley, and sugar, feel free to use this ingredient that’s in the authentic recipe from Starbucks. I note in the recipe to use 1 tablespoon of it.
How to Make Cold Brew Coffee
You can purchase cold brew from the store or make your own with this easy recipe.
- Pour 1 cup of course coffee grinds in a picture then add 4 cups of cold water.
- Place the picture in the fridge for at least 12 hours.
- Strain out the coffee grinds and you are left with the cold brew coffee.
Frothing the cream mixture is essential for this recipe and there are a few tools that you can use.
My favorite tool is to use a handheld milk frother, as it’s lightweight, easy to clean up, and stores easily on my countertop.
Other tools that can be used are an immersion blender, milk frother, and a mini bullet blender.

Notes
If you add the malted milk powder to this recipe, to make it more like a Starbucks drink, please know that there will be 5.3 grams of total carbs added to the recipe including 4 grams of sugar.
I left this ingredient out as it contains wheat flour, barley, and added sugar. A lot of people try to avoid these ingredients when doing keto. However, you can add the tablespoon of the malted milk powder if you are just looking for a sugar-free version or are okay with it on a keto or low-carb diet.
