Keto Mexican Orange Hot Chocolate
How to Make It
Step 1
Add the heavy cream to a mixing bowl and whisk the cream vigorously until light, fluffy, and doubled in volume. Alternatively, you may whip the cream in a stand mixer with a whisk attachment. Set to one side while you prepare the hot chocolate.
Step 2
Add the almond milk, cocoa powder, cinnamon, erythritol, chili powder, and orange extract to a small saucepan, and break the chocolate into small chunks then add to the saucepan. Set over a low/medium heat and whisk the mixture together, melting the chocolate into the milk. Heat until piping hot through but do not allow to boil over.
Step 3
Divide the spicy hot chocolate mixture between two large mugs. You may taste a little and adjust the seasonings if required. Feel free to add extra spice or more sweetener as needed, updating your macros accordingly.
Step 4
Divide the whipped cream evenly between the two mugs. Set the cream in the center of each mug so that you have a fluffy layer of cream on top. Serve hot and dust the cream with a little extra cinnamon if desired.
