Best Keto Non-Dairy Hot Chocolate
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.

Although I prefer coconut milk, I found the water to dilute this recipe . . . so I replaced all liquids with almond milk, to keep carbs low and avoid diluting . . . added and dissolved 1/4 tsp. cinnamon in first liquid, plus 20 drops of ENGLISH TOFFEE liquid stevia . . . which was delicious. Then I froze mixture in extra large 2 oz ice cube tray compartments so I can enjoy as little or as many macros as I'm allowed. Because . . . because it's so rich and decadent, I sometimes allow myself the pleasure to enjoy sipping just 2 oz, in an espresso cup, after dinner.

The carb count of this isn't quite keto friendly. 29g carbs is almost double the carb count for my entire day! 😂 The ingredients are keto friendly, the macros are not.

If your on a keto diet, you look at net carbs to see how it fits into your macros. Not total carbs. Total carbs-fiber-sugar alcohols=net carbs. Just FYI....should make it less frustrating to continue with keto. 🥰

I didn’t use the sugar replacement, instead used a few drops of Stevia Extract, it was still good
