Stovetop Hot Chocolate
THM:S, low carb, sugar free
Author: Briana Thomas
Serves: 1
Ingredients
- ½ oz. unsweetened baker's chocolate
- 2 T heavy whipping cream
- Dash of salt
- Dash of vanilla extract
- ½-1 T cocoa powder
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 T THM Gentle Sweet, or more, to taste
- Homemade sweetened whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and cinnamon sticks for serving
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the baker's chocolate, cream, salt, and vanilla together, stirring often to prevent burning. When the chocolate is melted, whisk in the cocoa powder and almond milk. Heat until the desired temperature is reached. Take the hot chocolate off the stove and whisk in your desired amount of THM Gentle Sweet. Top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and serve with a cinnamon stick stirrer. Yields one serving, but you can definitely multiply the batch.
Notes
Adjust the cocoa powder and sweetener amounts to your taste. I like mine with 1 T cocoa powder and 1 T Gentle Sweet, but I love dark chocolate.
I recommend using THM Gentle Sweet to sweeten this hot chocolate because a) it desolves well and b) it's not bitter in chocolate stuff.
