What brand are you using? Sounds like it has added sugar as regular heavy whipping cream has as near as makes no difference 0 carbs. Check out this nutrition sheet, I used the drop down to select 1 tbsp fluid as that's how I use it in my coffee.
Ah, right you are. So it's like half a gram per serving which is well worth it in my opinion. The biggest mistake a lot of ketoers make is too much protein and not enough fat. Maintaining 20g of carbs a day is the easy part to a lot of folks. I look at coffee and cream as a way to drive up my fat percentage while not touching proteins and I can almost always afford a gram or two of carbs.

Well, butter would even be better at upping the fat content. It is basically the same as cream, with even less protein and carbs. But it is all nitpicking when you are using small amounts. Just be careful not to go overboard with the cream. :)
What is the serving size? The cream I use has 3.2g per 100ml.

It is European so you won't know it ;). And your label says 3g per 100g so it is in the same range.

Would it be ok to put a little nip of scotch in that creamy, delicious coffee?
