Keto Dalgona Matcha Latte

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I use instead of powdered monkfruit or erythritol?

Try stevia or allulose instead. Just adjust the amount since every sweetener has a different sweetness level.

Can I make this recipe without egg whites?

Yes! Aquafaba (the liquid from canned chickpeas) works as a vegan substitute. It whips up the same way and gives you a nice foam.

How should I store any leftovers?

Store the whipped matcha in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Give it a quick whip again before serving.

Is this recipe suitable for a dairy-free diet?

Yes! As long as you use unsweetened nut milk, this recipe is completely dairy-free.

Can I use regular matcha instead of ceremonial grade matcha?

Yes, regular matcha works fine. Ceremonial grade matcha is smoother and tastes better, but either will work.

Low Carb Dalgona Matcha Latte

creamy and smooth dalgona style matcha latte with powdered green tea If you are more of a matcha latte person, you want to try making this whipped matcha latte recipe. Since with a matcha latte we aren’t using instant coffee like in traditional dalgona recipe, we’ll use egg whites to produce our foamy top layer. I first heard about this recipe from my friend Relle at Keeping it Relle. I loved her idea for the dalgona matcha latte, so I decided to make a low carb, sugar-free version. Matcha is a type of green tea. It is a less caffeinated version of a latte. Great for when you are in the mood for a creamy beverage.

Matcha Green Tea

powdered green matcha tea in a bowl Matcha is a popular green tea made by grinding young green tea leaf buds into a fine powder. Traditionally, people combine it with milk or nut milk to make a green tea latte. Any matcha powder will work for this recipe. Just make sure it is 100% unsweetened matcha powder as some matcha powders can contain sweeteners.

Sweetener for Whipped Matcha Latte

I like to add a little bit of sweetness to my matcha latte. The powdered versions of these sugar replacers work the best since they dissolve well. I recommend Lakanto and Swerve. If you don’t want to add sweetness, skip this step. Just boil water on its own and add it to the egg white meringue.

Milk Options

nutmilk carton Traditional matcha green tea lattes use milk; however, you can substitute with nut milk or heavy cream to make this dalgona green tea matcha drink low carb. I like to use macadamia nut milk. It’s creamy, unflavored and contains very few carbs, but you can use all heavy cream or other nut milks. You can even use half and half (although it is higher in carbs). Other Nut Milk Options:
  • almond milk
  • cashew milk
  • pili nut milk
  • hemp milk
