Keto Butter Hot Cocoa
How to Make It
Step 1
For this recipe, it’s recommended you use a milk frother. You can find small handheld milk frothers for low costs. However, in lieu of a milk frother, you may blend the hot cocoa with a bullet blender or hand emulsion wand. You’ll need to blend the hot cocoa in order to properly incorporate the butter and keep a smooth texture. Frothing the hot cocoa will also make the hot cocoa feel velvety and rich.
Step 2
Combine almond milk and heavy cream in a pot or heat-safe cup. Heat the liquids until they’re hot either on a stovetop or in the microwave. Once the milk and cream are warm, froth them for about 30 seconds. Add cocoa powder and powdered erythritol to the drink, and froth the drink for another 30 seconds. If you like dark chocolate, you should not need any more sweetener. If you like milk chocolate, include another ¼ teaspoon of powdered erythritol or add liquid stevia drops.
Step 3
Put butter in a heat-safe dish and melt it in a microwave for 30 seconds. Once melted, pour the butter into the hot drink and froth it for a third and final time. At this point, you may add other ingredients to the hot cocoa such as Keto whipped cream, Keto marshmallows, or extra flavors. Check the introduction of the recipe for recommendations on other ingredients to include with the hot cocoa.
