Keto Hot Chocolate

We live in the Poconos where we get lots of cold weather and traditions for us is snowboarding or playing in the snow and then enjoying a warm cup of hot chocolate. Going low carb I didn’t want to give up my favorite traditions that I do with the kids so I made some changes and came up with a delicious and creamy keto hot chocolate that I can enjoy while the kids enjoy theirs.

Lots of times I make a large batch and the kids enjoy some sugar free hot chocolate with me and don’t even realize that they are having some of mine and not theirs.

The great thing about this keto hot chocolate recipe is that it takes just 5 minutes from start to finish to make and I can make it on the stovetop (my preferred way) or in the microwave.

Can I make this in the microwave?

I prefer making my hot chocolate on the stove but you can make this keto hot chocolate in the microwave also. Just heat the almond milk and the heavy cream in a mug for 90 seconds, then add in the cocoa powder, sweetener and vanilla syrup and mix well.

How to change Flavors of Keto Hot Chocolate

If you are wanting to spice things up a bit, you can make this low carb hot chocolate into low carb Mexican hot chocolate by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper, cinnamon and nutmeg!

You can also use sugar free syrups to change up the flavors, there are so many different flavors you can make by adding a splash of sugar free syrup!

Add Sugar Free Peppermint Bark Syrup or Torani Sugar Free Peppermint Syrup for a Peppermint Keto Hot Chocolate.

Add some Sugar free Salted Caramel syrup for a Low Carb Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate. It tastes so close to my favorite caramel hot chocolate! I love it!

Add Torani Sugar Free Coconut Syrup for a Low Carb Coconut Hot Chocolate.

Add Torani SugarFree Classic Caramel Syrup for a Low Carb Caramel Hot Chocolate.

Just add the flavorings at the same time as you are adding the vanilla extract.
