Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or any low-calorie milk alternative)
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons Stevia or any calorie-free sweetener (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 teaspoon Dark chocolate (70% or higher, finely chopped, optional)
- 2 tablespoons Whipped cream or low-sugar whipped topping (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, add the almond milk and warm it over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent it from scorching.
Once the milk is warm but not boiling, whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder until fully dissolved and smooth.
Add the stevia, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk the mixture thoroughly to combine the flavors.
If you’d like an extra chocolatey boost, stir in the finely chopped dark chocolate until it melts completely into the mixture.
Taste the hot cocoa and adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more stevia if needed.
Pour the hot cocoa into two mugs and top with a dollop of whipped cream or low-sugar whipped topping if desired.
Serve immediately, sip, and enjoy your Skinny Style Chocolatey Hot Cocoa!
