Keto Hot Chocolate Recipe – How to make the best easy low carb sugar free warming creamy hot drink mix.
Keto Hot Chocolate
This keto hot chocolate recipe is a warming way to satisfy your sweet cravings, while being low in net carbs and helping you achieve your own personal health and weight loss goals.
There are lots of adaptions for keto diet friendly ingredients that you can include in your hot chocolate mix – you can stick to the few ingredients in the below recipe or get as creative as you’d like – creating your own dream cup of hot chocolate.
The Simple Ingredients In The Easy Recipe
These are the ingredients that are included in my own personal best hot chocolate, plus ideas for more simple keto ingredients that you can add:
Almond Milk – unsweetened almond milk is my milk of choice that I usually include in hot chocolate. You can feel free to swap for full fat coconut milk, cashew milk or any other nut milk or keto friendly milk or non-dairy milks you’d like that you can find at grocery stores.
I like to use the mug that I’m serving the hot chocolate in to measure the almond milk out, then I have the perfect amount for me!
Cream – choose from stirring heavy cream or coconut cream, for a dairy-free option, through your hot chocolate or add an indulgent swirl of whipped cream or heavy whipping cream to the top of your mug.
Chocolate – of course there’s chocolate in a hot chocolate – and it’s up to you whether you’d like to include unsweetened cocoa powder or raw cacao powder for more of a hot cocoa drink or chopped keto chocolate such as 85% dark chocolate for a deep chocolate flavor.
Sweetness – if you prefer a dark, rich hot chocolate, then you may find that the keto dessert recipe is sweet enough. Alternatively, you’re welcome to add in your favorite sweetener such as stevia or monk fruit sweetener, to taste to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Healthy Fats – some keto dieters like to add a little coconut oil or MCT oil to elevate the fat content of the low-carb hot chocolate. i find that it doesn’t agree with me doing that, so I urge you to exercise caution and try a tiny amount first to determine whether it agrees with you.
Flavor – add in a little vanilla extract, peppermint extract or orange extract or a pinch of salt to flavor your creamy keto hot drink. I’ve also been known to add in a little bit of ground turmeric and a pinch of pepper for a nourishing hot beverage.
Toppings – create an extra indulgent sugar free hot chocolate recipe by topping your mug with whipped cream, grated chocolate and even keto marshmallows to comfort on cold winter nights.
