Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or any non-dairy milk of your choice, such as coconut milk or cashew milk)
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar-free sweetener (e.g., erythritol, monk fruit, or stevia)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened dairy-free whipped cream or coconut cream (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Grated sugar-free dark chocolate or cocoa nibs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, pour the unsweetened almond milk and heat it over medium heat until it is warm but not boiling, about 3-4 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium-low and whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar-free sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Continue to whisk until the cocoa powder is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
Taste the hot chocolate and adjust the sweetness, if necessary, by adding an extra teaspoon of sugar-free sweetener.
Once heated and fully combined, carefully pour the hot chocolate into two mugs.
If desired, top with a dollop of unsweetened dairy-free whipped cream or coconut cream, and sprinkle grated sugar-free dark chocolate or cocoa nibs on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy this guilt-free, comforting treat!
