Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.5 tablespoons granulated sugar substitute (like stevia or erythritol)
• 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)
• 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.25 ounces dark chocolate (sugar-free, optional, for extra richness)
• 1 pinch pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine the cocoa powder, sugar substitute, and a pinch of salt.

Step 2

Gradually whisk in 1/4 cup of almond milk to form a smooth paste. This ensures there are no lumps of cocoa powder.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and slowly add the remaining almond milk, whisking constantly to combine.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract and stir well.

Step 5

If using, add the sugar-free dark chocolate and whisk until fully melted and smooth.

Step 6

Heat the mixture until it’s warm but not boiling, about 3 to 5 minutes, whisking occasionally to prevent scorching.

Step 7

Carefully pour the hot cocoa into mugs, optionally topping with a dollop of whipped cream or a dusting of cocoa powder.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your cozy, sugar-free hot cocoa!
