Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 ounces dark chocolate (85% cocoa or more)
- 2 tablespoons erythritol sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the almond milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium-low heat until it begins to warm, stirring occasionally.
Add the cocoa powder and erythritol sweetener to the milk mixture, whisking continuously to ensure the cocoa powder is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and add them to the pan, stirring constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is creamy and smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt, and taste to adjust sweetness if necessary.
Continue to heat the chocolat chaud for about 2-3 more minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly, but do not let it boil.
Remove from heat and pour into mugs.
Serve immediately, optionally topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for an extra touch of luxury.
