I like to joke with my boyfriend that he was “on the keto diet before Pinterest knew about the keto diet.” It’s probably true to some degree — he has been eating keto for several years… but didn’t know he was eating keto. Through his own nutrition research, he ended up adopting a high-fat, low-carb, moderate-protein diet and loves it.
I stumbled upon the keto diet in June of 2017 through Pinterest and said to him, “Umm, do you realize you’re on the keto diet?” Although the keto diet has been around for a long time, no one can deny it has exploded in popularity in 2018. He’s been pretty pleased with himself for adopting the keto diet before it went mainstream. 😉
In this post, I’m going to share his FAVORITE Keto Coffee recipe that he has been making for a few years now (and I’ve started drinking too even though I’m not full-on keto). Now that his diet has a name, I’ve started calling it “Keto Crack Coffee.” This stuff will get you ROCKIN’ in the morning! It has some similarities to the super-popular Bulletproof Coffee, but Keto Crack Coffee has a few special ingredients that make it stand out.

Ingredients You’ll Need to Make Keto Crack Coffee
Let’s make some Keto Crack Coffee! You will need a few ingredients:
Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
grab this at the store!
Whipping Cream
grab this at the store! (or, if you’re dairy-free like me, you can substitute it with nutpods Unsweetened Dairy-Free Creamer)
Death Wish Coffee
This is the star of the show and a critical ingredient for Keto Crack Coffee. Death Wish Coffee is an awesome coffee that bills itself as “The World’s Strongest Coffee.” It’s also organic and fair-trade (oh, and really good!).
Perfect Keto MCT Oil
MCT oil is loaded with healthy MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides), aka healthy fats. MCTs are a keto diet staple because you can put them in smoothies and coffee, on salads and veggies, etc. Use coupon code FORGETSUGAR20 for 20% off your order!
BetterStevia Liquid Sweetener
A convenient keto-friendly sweetener that has the best flavor of any liquid stevia I’ve tried (some are a bit iffy, but this one is great!).
Simply Organic Pure Vanilla Extract
A nice vanilla extract with a good flavor. I also sometimes use Trader Joe’s Bourbon Vanilla Extract.
All of those ingredients mixed together in the recommended amounts give you one awesome cup of Keto Crack Coffee:
What Makes Keto Crack Coffee So Awesome
- It’s super caffeinated. This stuff will get you hoppin’ like Tuco trying some of Heisenburg’s goods for the first time. (If you’re a Breaking Bad fan, you’ll get this reference. 🙂 )
- It’s full of healthy fats to keep you full.
- It has a nice sweet vanilla flavor without being too strong.
- The almond milk-whipping cream combo is the perfect mixture for a smooth keto coffee treat.
- It’s absurdly easy to make.
How to Make This Keto Coffee Recipe
Keto Crack Coffee is ridiculously easy to make. Gather your ingredients (check the recipe at the end of the post for the exact amounts), pour into your fancy coffee cup of choice, mix, then top with some Keto Whipped Cream if you’d like. (If you don’t want to make keto whipped cream, you can buy canned whipped cream from the store — just watch the carbs because they do have a bit of sugar in them.)
You’ll be rewarded with this beauty:

Keto Crack Coffee
Ingredients
- 4-6 oz Death Wish Coffee chilled (adjust amount depending on caffeine tolerance; see recipe notes)
- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 10-16 drops liquid stevia (adjust amount depending on sweetness preference)
- 2-3 tsp MCT oil (adjust amount depending on desired fat intake)
- keto whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Brew and chill Death Wish Coffee.
- Add all ingredients to a coffee cup or glass. Using a small whisk or coffee frother, blend until well-combined. The MCT oil will float to the top; this is normal.
- If desired, top with keto whipped cream. (You can make your own using that recipe or or use a small amount of canned whipped cream.)

Hi Jessica
Where can i buy the death wish coffee?
Hi Laura! Thanks for visiting.
I buy mine on Amazon here: Death Wish Coffee on Amazon
Let’s say you wanted to make this a pumpkin spice coffee would adding pumpkin and pumpkin spice change the fat burning aspect? And if you left off all the milk options, wouldn’t that heighten the fat burning too?
Hi Stacia, Go for it! 🙂 Those changes won’t make any impact (other than a delicious flavor!).
I found mine at Walmart.
I got mine from Walmart.
Do you have to use the death wish coffee?
Hi Susy!
Using Death Wish Coffee will boost the caffeine content (hence the name :)) but you can make the recipe with the coffee of your choosing.
I’m a cop and this crack coffee recipe is a real pick me up.
OMG, your Tuco reference was TIGHT, TIGHT, TIGHT!! 😂❤️
Hahahaha I’m so glad someone got the joke! 🙂
I have checked your website and i’ve found many great recipes! This crack coffee was easy to make and excellent.
I use a similar recipe for my coffee(I just couldn’t give it up!) but I like to imusify in my blender so the oil doesn’t float. 🙂 much more palatable.
Great idea! Thanks, Lindsay! 🙂

Hello my name is Tina. A year ago November I stopped smoking. Since then I have gained 50lbs. I have tried everything to lose weight. A friend told me to try keto. I was heavy to start with so the gain has me very unhappy with myself.. Do you have any advice for me to succeed?
Hi Tina! I think keto would be great for you to try. I’m going to have some free information about a “keto reset” program later this month. If you’re signed up for my Keto Living List email list, you’ll be the first to hear about it. If you’re not signed up yet, let me know and I can add you. P.S. Congrats on quitting smoking — that is a huge achievement!
How is MTCOil different than adding coconut oil and butter? Thanks.
Hi Jeff! You can learn about the benefits of MCT oil here.
What an awesome coffee!
Hello there! I’m wide awake because of your crack coffee. My new go-to morning Joe.
Definitely gives you that pick-me-up in the morning!
Awesome keto coffee recipe!
Hey Jessica,
Can you do this hot or does it ruin the flavor or texture?
Hi Coby! You definitely can make it hot. Enjoy!
Hey there, just recently found this recipe and my hubby & I have been big fans of DWC for a while now so I was super excited to try, definitely a new favorite and super easy to make! Looking forward to trying some more of your stuff!
Hi Yvonne! Isn’t DWC great?! I hope you enjoy the recipe. Thanks so much for reading! 🙂
You should cold brew the deathwish coffee.
Hi Nathan, Great idea! I haven’t tried that yet (I am soo behind on the cold brew train), but I know it produces better-tasting coffee + more caffeine. I will have to do it soon!
If anyone else is interested, Death Wish has a cold brew tutorial on their site.
How can the calorie count of this drink be 229 when MCT is 130/tsp and it calls for 2-3tsp? The math doesn’t add up, what am I missing here?
Hi Susan! I’ve seen MCT oils labeled as 100-130 calories/tbsp (the one I use is 130 calories), but never 130 calories/tsp. If yours is labeled as 130 calories/tsp, it sounds like there may have been a labeling error. I would contact the manufacturer to verify.
How do you chill the coffee? Would you recommend making a few days worth and storing it in the fridge for convenience?
Hi Toyah! Yes, I just make a few days’ worth (no more than three to keep it fresh) in my coffee pot and then store it in a sealed container in the fridge until I’m ready to use it.
Death Wish Coffee…what a great name. LOL
I like using a Magic Bullet Blender and some collagen to give it a frothy top and great mouth feel.
Right!? 😉
Great idea on the collagen + blender! That’s what I do when I mix Perfect Keto MCT oil powder into my coffee. It works great!
I hate coffee. Could this be done with tea? I know the caffeine jolt wouldn’t be the same.
Hi Mary,
I don’t see why not! Definitely give it a try — I’d love to hear how it goes for you! 🙂
Can you add ice cubes in Vitamix to make a frap?
Hi Linda, Absolutely! That’s a great idea.
Is there a super-strong tasting coffee that is decaf? I’m super sensitive to caffeine, and if I drank this, I wouldn’t sleep for a week!
Hi Suzanne! You can just use your favorite decaf coffee. 🙂 Using Death Wish Coffee is more about the caffeine content rather than the flavor, so feel free to use whatever coffee works best for you.
HA!!!!!
I drink DeathWish every day!!! It is soooo good. I buy mine direct from DW. Same price as Amazon.
Currently holding 3.5 lbs.
Love it!! I only have 1.5 lbs here… I’m feeling a little understocked! 😉 Glad to see another big fan.
I enjoyed this one with heavy cream. I went through all the “nut milks” years ago and they all tasted like skim milk. Bleh! I think I’d rather use Half n Half instead of the “almond milk”. Otherwise tastes great with HWC! Thx!
Would this work with MCT powder? How much would you use?
Hi Kim! Yes it would. I would use a full scoop. Enjoy!
Hey, Thank you for coffee recipe, I really really like the way you explained it, Me and my family love coffee so i’m going to this weekend for everyone.
Do you think I could use freshly brewed espresso? Thanks!
Hi Melissa, Yes, definitely!
Does your nutritional facts breakdown include the keto whipped cream or no?
Hi Casey! They do not include the whipped cream.
Really, Keto is relatively new on Pinterest? So weird, it is a several hundred years old used method, invented by the german army doctors i believe, because they had a huge problem with obesity and diabetes, and that is the easiest treatment to revert that, even today 🙂 Not just that, but pretty much all known folk-diseases, asthma, artheritis, heart diseases, cancer (Yes it feeds on carbs, 12x the amount of any human cell, it is something you breath daily, a natural yeast, nothing new, we’ve known about it for over 5.000 years!!!) you name it.
Hi Ole – Thank you for the fascinating keto history information! I guess it takes time for society at large to finally catch on. These days, if you say “keto,” everyone knows what you’re talking about! 🙂
I used this recipe with what I had. I don’t handle caffeine very well or should I say others don’t handle me with caffeine well. I used
1/2 packet of Tasters choice instant coffee,
2/3 cup almond milk -unsweetened,
1/4 cup HWC,
4-6 oz instant coffee
1/2 pump SF vanilla flavoring
1/2 pump SF white chocolate flavoring
1-2 tsp monk fruit to taste
It is quite good. I did not use whipped cream.
So far it is pretty good.
Thanks for sharing your recipes.
Yum! That sounds like a fantastic version, Sheila. Thanks so much for sharing! 🙂
I iced mine not thinking and ended up with chunky MCT oil 😂 I threw it in my vitamix and. Better results. Thank you for sharing this “chilled” recipe. My favorite MCT is omega power creamer “Salted Carmel.” It made eating the iced chunks not so bad!
Hi BEX, Thanks so much for the review and sorry about the oil chunks! 😂 I find that MCT oil doesn’t clump up as much when it’s chilled as oils like coconut oil or butter. I just looked at the ingredients for Omega Power Creamer, and it has both coconut oil and ghee (similar to butter) in it so that may have caused the clumping…? Either way, I hope it tasted great!! 🙂
Death wish is terrible for your health! It has killed people! The caffeine amount is dangerous and seriously this can not be FDA approved
Kelly, Can you please provide evidence, including links, that back up your claim that Death Wish Coffee “has killed people”?
A cold brew canned variation under the Death Wish brand, Nitro Cold Brew, was the subject of an FDA recall in 2017 because it was determined that the process used to make the cold brew *could* lead to botulism. No illnesses were reported according to the FDA: https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/death-wish-coffee-co-announces-recall-nitro-cold-brew-cans-retailers-online-sales
This is not the coffee used in this recipe nor was the recall related to the caffeine content. The FDA has zero additional reports on the Death Wish brand, which you can see here: https://search.usa.gov/search?query=%22death+wish%22&affiliate=fda1
As noted in my post, I provide the approximate caffeine mg count of the small amount of Death Wish Coffee included in this recipe and note to drink it slowly to test your tolerance.
Death Wish Coffee is not a small brand. It is sold in grocery stores across the United States and via a plethora of online retailers.
If you have any further questions or concerns about the brand, I recommend that you contact them directly: https://help.deathwishcoffee.com/
Not a cold coffee drinker so, I made a cup in the Keurig. 1.5tsp Vanilla, 1.5 MCT, 2 packets of Truvia (it’s my favorite) , and 1 tbs Whipped Cream– OMG It’s Amazing (and I don’t even like coffee)!
Hi Carinthia, Thank you so much for the review! I’m honored that you like my recipe even though you don’t like coffee! 🙂
Thank you for this! I’ve tried to do ‘bullet-proof coffee’, but I can’t stomach it hot. Cold might work for me!
You’re welcome! I hope you enjoy! 😊
Yup, this hit the spot. This is my new go-to coffee to get me going. Awesome taste as well.
I’m hooked on Death Wish Coffee!! And this recipe is sooo good!!!
Hi Tina, Isn’t it the best?! 😃 I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed the recipe!
I used a different cold coffee and it was really good so thanks for the recipe!
I haven’t made this yet, but I’m going to. I’m going to make it a hot drink instead, and blend it in a blender so the MCT oil doesn’t float. I can’t take that.
Thanks for sharing. This was really simple and effective low carb coffee drink.
This has been really helpful to get me going in the morning!
It gets me going in the morning. Exactly what I needed!
Great recipe!
Wow, I agree, the iced pumpkin latte was great!
