July is here, which means it is definitely iced coffee season! I personally love iced coffee any time of year (yes, even in December), but there is nothing quite as refreshing as an iced coffee when the temperatures are soaring.
The only downside to iced coffee is the dreaded “ice cube iced coffee dilution.” You know what I’m talking about… it’s that horrible process in which the ice cubes that made your coffee so chilled and lovely begin to melt and turn your iced coffee into a diluted, rather “blah” drink.
Thankfully, Vanilla Cinnamon Keto Iced Coffee will never turn into a diluted, rather “blah” drink. Why? Because this keto iced coffee is chilled using awesome coffee-, whipping cream-, and cinnamon-infused ice cubes! Yep, as your ice cubes melt, they’ll actually make your iced coffee taste even better. Total iced coffee bliss. 🙂
Oh yeah, and this iced coffee will serve as a liquid fat bomb thanks to the whopping 36g fat per serving. You will NOT struggle to get in your fat macros with a drink like this on your daily menu!
How to Make a Vanilla Cinnamon Keto Iced Coffee
There are two steps to this recipe. First, make the creamer cubes by adding the ice cube ingredients to a blender. Whipping cream will froth easily, so you want to blend for just a second to incorporate everything.
Pour your liquid into a 16-cube ice cube tray. (If your ice cube tray is bigger or smaller, you will have to adjust how many cubes you add to each glass of keto iced coffee.)
Then, sprinkle as much or as little cinnamon on top as you want. I went for a decent amount in a rather artistic pattern just for fun… feel free to add your cinnamon however you’d like. 🙂
Freeze for at least an hour and a half. When frozen, add eight of your cubes to a glass.
Next, in a blender, blend the liquid ingredients. Add half (1 1/2 cups) of this mixture to your ice cubes… and your Vanilla Cinnamon Keto Iced Coffee is ready to drink!
Note: Drink your keto iced coffee slowly to allow the ice cube flavor to infuse into the rest of the drink. The more the cubes melt, the better it tastes!

MCT Oil Used in Vanilla Cinnamon Keto Iced Coffee
Here is the MCT oil I used in my iced coffee:
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 FORGETSUGARFRIDAY for 15% off your order!
I love the Perfect Keto brand because their products are research-based, doctor-developed, and specifically formulated for the keto community.

Vanilla Cinnamon Keto Iced Coffee
Ingredients
Ice cubes:
- 1 cup chilled coffee
- 7 tbsp whipping cream
- 1/8 tsp stevia
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
To make the ice cubes:
- Do a VERY quick blend in the blender of the ice cube ingredients. (Whipping cream will froth easily and you want to avoid this as much as possible.)
- Pour mixture into a 16-cube ice cube tray and sprinkle ground cinnamon on top (more or less to taste), then freeze for at least 1 1/2 hours.
To make the liquid:
- Blend all ingredients in the blender.
To assemble the coffees:
- For each glass (the recipe makes two glasses), add eight ice cubes. Pour 1 1/2 cups of the liquid on top.
- Sip slowly, giving the ice cubes time to melt and infuse more flavor into the coffee. (See notes if you don't want to wait long for the ice cubes to melt.)

Thank you Thank you Thank you!
I tried to make iced Bulletproof coffee yesterday and wound up making what looked like coffee butter (not as appetizing as it sounds.) I knew there had to be a way but I couldn’t figure it out. Trying this tomorrow!!
Hi Pamela! You are so welcome. This recipe definitely does not make coffee butter. 🙂 Enjoy!!
Looks delicious! Do you think coconut cream would work in place of heavy whipping cream for a dairy free option?
Hi Tricia, Thank you! Yes, I think coconut cream would work, or you could use Nutpods dairy-free creamer. I’m actually dairy-free myself (except to taste test dairy-containing recipes on my site 🙂 ) and use Nutpods often instead of heavy whipping cream.
Is tge MCT oil a must? Because unfortunately I can’t seem to find it in my country and this recipe is amazing! Is the MCT oil just used to increase the daily fat intake? Thanks in advance!
Hi Ruaa!
You can definitely skip the MCT oil if you don’t have access to it. If you have coconut oil, you can use that instead, or just skip the oil altogether. MCT oil is a special type of fat that is rapidly absorbed into the body and is great for energy, but it’s definitely not a must in this recipe. Enjoy!
I do not like the taste of Stevia. Is there something I can use instead?
Hi Linda, Swerve Confectioners is a great replacement: https://amzn.to/2EuwduO You will need to use more because stevia is highly concentrated. I recommend replacing the 1/8 tsp stevia (which is in this recipe twice, in the ice cubes and in the liquid) with 2 tbsp Swerve Confectioners each time.
What kind of coffee do you use?
Hi Jenica! Any coffee will work in this – use whatever you like. 🙂
This was very good. I loved the coffee cubes! They kept my drink cold without diluting it.
This vanilla cinnamon iced coffee was delicious! Super simple to make as well.
I might be crazy for making iced coffee in January, but I just can’t help myself. This was a wonderful flavor and I enjoyed the cinnamon! Thanks for the recipe.
This is the best recipe! I make it every two days, it is so good, I can hardly wait till my fast is over for the day to make this delicious drink! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your review, Patricia! I really appreciate it 🙂
Fantastic, thanks for sharing would love to give this a try.
Great iced coffee recipe even when it is cold outside!
