Keto Hot "Cocoa"

With the cooler temperatures and the holiday nothing warms you up and satisfies quite like a cup of hot cocoa.  Since going keto I wanted something that would take the place of one of my favorite hot drinks and I think this one does the trick quite nicely.

Keto Hot "Cocoa"

1 cup hot coffee

3 Tbs heavy cream

1 packet sweetener

1 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tsp. peppermint extract (optional)

Combine all ingredients into a mug and stir well to combine.  Top with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

Carbs 3g (w/ dollop of whipped cream 4g), Fat 17g, Protein 1g

Note:  Schnapps in place of extract adds 13 g carbs

I think the hot coffee brings out the chocolate flavor a little bit more.  I use my battery powered milk frother to combine it all and make it a little creamier.  It makes a delicious cocoa alternative to enjoy.
