My favorite part about this Keto Hot Chocolate recipe is that it's healthy, low-carb, and gluten-free. That's right, a super-rich and decadent chocolate dessert is a keto-friendly, low carb treat that won't kick you out of ketosis. It's nice to be able to curb that sweet tooth with such a delicious recipe such as this one.
I know a lot of people that struggle with finding healthy and allergy-friendly desserts that don't take forever and a day to prepare. Not to mention, they usually require expensive and fancy ingredients that make it just feel not worth the effort and the cost. Keto Hot Chocolate with cinnamon is super easy to make and isn't expensive either.
Why Does This Keto Hot Chocolate Look Different?
That's because it's sipping chocolate. I'm sure you're thinking, "What in the world is sipping chocolate?!" Mexican Sipping Chocolate is gold. If you're used to hot chocolate in the United States, this is not the same thing.
It's the same idea, however, this is much richer and usually has a spice to it. It's only meant for sipping as a creamy delight, not to guzzle down. Mexican Sipping Chocolate is thicker than hot chocolate and is more of a dessert than it is a drink--and of course, it's Keto!
How to Make Mexican Sipping Chocolate
- Place almond milk, heavy whipping cream, Truvia, and chocolate squares in a saucepan and heat on medium-low heat. Stir frequently and do not allow the mixture to come to a rolling boil.
- Once the chocolate is melted and the mixture is heated through, remove from heat and stir in cinnamon, cayenne pepper and vanilla extract. Pour into demitasse cups to serve.
- This is a very rich, sipping chocolate, not a hot chocolate to guzzle down.
