Sugar Free Hot Chocolate Mix – 3 Ingredients, Keto, THM S, Low Carb, Gluten Free, Dairy Free Option

I’ve been wanting to make an instant hot chocolate mix for a very long time. All the ingredients have been staring at me from the pantry. Finally, on a cold January day, I started playing around with the ratios.

If you saw this post on Instagram you would’ve seen me up to my ears in hot chocolate experimentation. I rounded up my little taste testers and took their votes on the best one. This one came out on top.

In the winter my kids love warm beverages. They alternate between hot chocolate and tea most of the time but my 9-year-old has been known to sneak sips of mommy’s coffee.

Feel free to play around with this recipe on your own. I think you could add an extract to the sweetener (peppermint hot chocolate anyone) and then let that dry before adding the rest of the ingredients. The same way you’d make a flavored sugar. It was also very good with powdered coconut milk. If you are dairy free that is an easy substitution.

I’ve found that blending the powder helps it to dissolve better. I recommend taking the time for this extra step. You can double or triple my recipe for sugar free hot chocolate to make a bigger batch.

• OR coconut milk powder

Notes

I've found that blending the powder helps it to dissolve better. I recommend taking the time for this extra step. You can double or triple my recipe to make a bigger batch.

Notes on Sweeteners: 

I use my own blend of xylitol, erythritol, and stevia in my recipes. This is twice as sweet as sugar. It is comparable to Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet and Truvia.

To sub in Swerve or Lakanto Monk Fruit use 1.5 times the amount of sweetener called for. 

 

To sub in Pyure or Trim Healthy Mama Super Sweet use half the amount of sweetener called for.

 

Substitutions will work in most recipes. They may not work in candies, such as caramel.
