Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons Erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine unsweetened almond milk and heavy cream over medium heat.
Stir in the cocoa powder, erythritol, and salt. Whisk continuously to ensure the cocoa powder fully dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
Continue heating until the mixture is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching at the bottom.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the vanilla extract and sugar-free chocolate chips, if using, until the chocolate chips are melted and the mixture is creamy.
Taste the hot chocolate and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding a little more erythritol.
Pour the hot chocolate into mugs and serve immediately, optionally topping with whipped cream for extra creaminess.
