Collagen Irish Cream
The holidays are coming which means comfort food and my Collagen Irish Cream is guilt free!
Kai LOVES it! But he loves anything with a coffee flavor!
HOW TO MAKE COLLAGEN IRISH CREAM
Most of you know that I do not drink alcohol and I haven’t had it for over 16 years. I also do not drink coffee, despite my addition to coffee since I was 15 years old working in a coffee shop. So my recipe for Irish Cream is a bit modified but it still is packed with flavor.
My keto Irish Cream is also packed with collagen which is something I consume daily!
Did you know 1/3 of your body is made up of collagen? And that after menopause, collagen declines in a rapid rate so bumping your collagen intake up before you lose it is very helpful for skin, hair and nails!
Further Food collagen is my favorite collagen to use and it makes recipes like my Irish Cream SUPER delicious!

TESTIMONY OF THE DAY
“I have been overweight for as long as I can remember, as a kid I grew an attachment to eating my feelings which carried all the way into my adult life. I was being naïve and thought I was healthy because I didn’t have diabetes or things of that nature, just a little high blood pressure issue. Boy was I wrong, because my weight kept growing to the point I was 525 lbs wearing 60 inch pants and 8xl shirts and that blood pressure issue wasn’t getting any better. I had tried a few diets before and failed at them because my results weren’t quick enough.
In March of 2019 I started doing keto after having to tell myself enough was enough with the excuses I was telling myself, no one was coming to save me and I had to save myself. I told myself this time was going to be different and I owed it to myself to stick with it, because I wanted to be around for a long time and I wanted to enjoy that life as close to the fullest I could.
With keto I was able to lose 300 lbs and maintain the weight loss and I just recently had my 4 year ketoversary. I am no longer wearing 60 inch pants and 8xl shirts and I’m on the lowest dosage for my blood pressure medicine. I have found a love for cooking and baking my own food as well as exercising to stay healthy. I owe taking my life back to this way of eating and I always tell myself now that you’ve done it there’s no going back.” -Curt

Hi,
I quite liked this Irish Cream Recipe, but I had to modify it as I have a bit of a problem with chocolate. In my modified version I used high fat cream, vanilla collagen and cocoa butter. I also substituted a keto honey (has a Xylitol sweetener) as a couple of family members are allergic to Stevia. Overall this is a pretty good alternate version of this excellent recipe. However I’m not sure of the carb level so hopefully it works out!
Sounds good! Just be mindful of the carb count 🙂
Would adding a teaspoon of mint extract mess with the flavors and/or macros?
