Time 6m

Yield 12-15 cups, 12-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups non-fat powdered milk
1 tablespoon skim milk
2 1/2 cups splenda artificial sweetener
1 1/3 cups powdered fat-free non-diary coffee creamer
1 1/3 cups Dutch-processed cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Put all of the ingredients into a large bowl, and mix with a spoon until well blended. Storing the blend in an air-tight container keeps it tasting good.
  • Buy larger quantities of the ingredients because it's less expensive and you've got a ready supply of raw materials if you open the container and find it empty.
  • Making Cocoa.
  • Heat your water and spoon up 5 teaspoons of hot cocoa mix into a mug and add about a teaspoon of skim milk. Using the teaspoon, blend the milk and dry cocoa mix together until it forms a smooth, thick cocoa sludge in the bottom of the mug. now add your hot water and blend thoroughly.
  • This trick of adding milk and creating a cocoa sludge creates a smoother cup of cocoa, than if you simply added the cocoa mix to hot water.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder: Look for a cocoa powder that is labeled "unsweetened" or "natural." Avoid cocoa mixes that contain added sugar or other fillers.
  • Sweeten with your favorite low-carb sweetener: You can use stevia, erythritol, or monk fruit extract to sweeten your hot cocoa. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Add a pinch of salt: Salt can help to balance out the sweetness of the cocoa and make it more flavorful.
  • Use almond or coconut milk: These milks are low in carbs and have a neutral flavor that won't overpower the cocoa.
  • Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon: This will add a touch of decadence and make your hot cocoa even more enjoyable.

Conclusion:

These low-carb hot cocoa recipes are a delicious and satisfying way to warm up on a cold day. They're also a great way to get your daily dose of antioxidants.
