Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Low-carb sweetener (like erythritol or stevia)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 0.5 cup Low-carb marshmallows
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the unsweetened almond milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat until just simmering, stirring occasionally to prevent the milk from scorching.
Once the milk is heated, whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder, making sure it is fully dissolved and no lumps remain.
Add the low-carb sweetener of your choice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Continue whisking until the sweetener is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Taste the hot chocolate and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding a little more sweetener, one teaspoon at a time.
Pour the hot chocolate into mugs, dividing it evenly.
Top each mug with approximately 1/4 cup of low-carb marshmallows.
Serve immediately and enjoy the indulgent, low-carb treat!
