Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Powdered erythritol (or preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened powdered milk
- 0.25 cup Sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla powder (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered erythritol, and powdered milk. Stir until evenly distributed.
If using sugar-free chocolate chips, finely chop the chips and add them to the mixture for bursts of chocolate flavor.
Add the salt and vanilla powder (if using) to the mixture, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
Transfer the hot cocoa mix to an airtight container for storage. It can be kept for up to two months in a cool, dry place.
To prepare a cup of hot cocoa, heat 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk alternative) in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm but not boiling.
Add 2 tablespoons of the cocoa mix to the warm milk and whisk vigorously until fully dissolved and smooth.
Pour the hot cocoa into a mug, taste, and adjust sweetness if necessary. If desired, top with whipped cream or sugar-free marshmallows for extra indulgence.
