Where to Find Sugar-Free White Chocolate?

You can use sugar-free white chocolate sweetened with low-carb sweeteners such as Erythritol, FOS or Xylitol. If you live in the US, Choc Zero White Chocolate Chips are a great keto option. I can't get it in the UK so I used Xylitol based white chocolate.

Make sure to avoid chocolate sweetened with Sorbitol, Maltitol or IMOs as these seemingly low-carb options are not keto-friendly and would most likely spike your blood sugar.

If you can't find a healthy low-carb option, you can make your own sugar-free white chocolate like this Keto White Chocolate. If you use heavy cream powder and powdered Allulose, it's the closest you will ever get to regular white chocolate!

Here are some extra tips:

• For extra protein: 1-2 scoops Perfect Keto Collagen or your preferred collagen powder
• For extra fats: 1-2 tbsp MCT Oil (15 ml) or 1-2 tbsp Perfect Keto MCT Oil Powder
• You can use raw or roasted almond butter or Perfect Keto Nut Butter. Raw nut butter will make this keto hot chocolate creamy and roasted nut butter will add extra flavour boost.

Nutritional values (per serving, 1 glass)

Ingredients (makes 2 servings)

• 1 bar sugar-free white chocolate (100 g/ 3.5 oz) - you can make your own
• 1 ¹/₂ cups unsweetened almond milk or cashew milk (360 ml/ 12 fl oz)
• ¹/₂ cup cup heavy whipping cream or coconut cream (120 ml/ 4 fl oz)
• ¹/₂ tsp sugar-free vanilla extract
• ¹/₄ tsp sugar-free peppermint extract
• Optional: whipped cream and sugar-free crushed candy cane for sprinkling (xylitol sweetened is recommended)

Instructions

1. Break the white chocolate into small pieces. Use sugar-free white chocolate sweetened with Erythritol, FOS or Xylitol or make your own Keto White Chocolate (I use heavy cream powder and powdered allulose for best results).
2. Place the almond milk, cream and white chocolate into a saucepan. Bring to a boil over a medium-high heat (the milk will start to foam) while stirring. Take off the heat and mix in the vanilla and peppermint extract.
3. Pour into glasses to serve.
4. Optionally, serve and optionally top with whipped cream on top and sprinkle with crushed sugar-free candy cane (xylitol based candy cane is recommended).
5. Enjoy hot!
