This keto hot chocolate is a tasty and satisfying keto treat for cold winter nights. It's infused with cinnamon, star anise and ginger for the ultimate festive twist. We've got almond milk infused with warming spices combined with whipping cream, sweetener and unsweetened chocolate. This is the perfect treat for Christmas!
Hot Chocolate Toppings and Add-ins
You can keep this keto hot chocolate plain or add any of these add-ins and toppings:
- whipped cream topping
- sugar-free marshmallows (you can even make your own marshmallows)
- grated dark chocolate, cacao powder or cinnamon for dusting
- For extra protein add 1-2 scoops Perfect Keto Collagen or your preferred collagen powder
- For extra creaminess add roasted almond butter or Perfect Keto Nut Butter. I prefer roasted as it enhances the flavour. Instead of unsweetened chocolate, you can use 85% dark chocolate or 90% dark chocolate and skip the sweetener.
