About
This hot chocolate is so rich and decadent! What makes it even better is that it is so easy to make! You can change this recipe in any way you’d like (by adding almond milk vs. coconut milk etc). We used canned coconut milk but feel free to use the unsweetened refrigerated kind. We like canned coconut milk because it is richer.
Which type of chocolate is best for this Keto hot chocolate?
Usually, we opt for cocoa powder when preparing Keto recipes because of its low-carb content. However, for this recipe, we have opted for dairy-free dark chocolate because of its rich flavor and creamy texture. You can choose your preferred brand of chocolate as long as it is dairy-free.
What if you aren't dairy-free, what substitutions can you make?
If you aren't worried about having dairy in your hot chocolate, then you can swap the coconut milk with heavy cream. You also don't have to be worried about finding dairy-free chocolate, as long as it is sugar-free.
What variations can you make to this Keto hot chocolate?
In place of coconut milk, you can use almond milk or any other plant-based nut milk. Instead of plain dark chocolate, you can use flavored chocolate. You can also add your choice of flavorings like orange, peppermint, or spices.
