KETO HOT CHOCOLATE

 

• Keto Hot Chocolate

Wonderfully thick and creamy, hot chocolate is the perfect keto indulgence this time of year.

I make it with ultra-dark chocolate (90% cacao) and add just a touch of sweetener, but the added sweetener is completely optional.

2. Lower the heat to low. Whisk in the stevia and the cocoa powder until fully incorporated.
3. Turn the heat off, leaving the saucepan on the hot burner. Stir in the chopped chocolate until melted.
