🧾Ingredients used

This hot chocolate drink requires only a few ingredients.

unsweetened cocoa powder: You can get good chocolate flavor without adding any sugar.You can use whatever brand you like, but I prefer to use viva cacao powder For the deep flavor of chocolate. Some brands are more bitter than others, so make sure you use a high quality cocoa he powder.
unsweetened almond milk: This forms the liquid base for this recipe. You can also use coconut milk.
Thick whipped cream: The combination of heavy cream and almond milk makes this drink very rich and creamy.
monk fruit sweetener: I like to use monk fruit sweetener as a sugar substitute. Instead, you can use your favorite sweetener such as swerve, stevia, truvia, or allulose.
salt: It is a secret ingredient that softens the bitterness of cocoa powder.
vanilla extract: For an extra dose of flavor!
Whipped cream: I like to top this keto hot chocolate with sugar-free whipped cream, which tastes just like the real thing, but this is completely optional.
