This hot chocolate is incredibly delicious, creamy, chocolatey and satisfying! It's a real treat for all chocolate lovers, especially those of us who adore dark chocolate. It's the perfect holiday drink to enjoy with your friends and family.

The two main ingredients that make this liquid fat bomb super creamy are unsweetened chocolate (aka cacao paste) and almond butter. I used roasted almond butter to enhance the flavour.

Ingredients (makes 2 servings)

1 ¹/₂ cups unsweetened almond milk or cashew milk (360 ml/ 12 fl oz)
¹/₄ cup heavy whipping cream or coconut cream (60 ml/ 2 fl oz)
¹/₄ cup granulated Erythritol or Swerve (50 g/ 1.8 oz)
¹/₄ tsp cinnamon
57 g unsweetened chocolate/ raw cacao paste (2 oz)
1 heaped tbsp almond butter (32 g/ 1.1 oz)
Optional: dollop of whipped cream and pinch of cinnamon

Extras:

For extra protein: 1-2 scoops Perfect Keto Collagen or your preferred collagen powder
For extra fats: 1-2 tbsp Brain Octane Oil (15 ml) or 1-2 tbsp Perfect Keto MCT Oil Powder

Notes: you can use raw or roasted almond 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.

Hi. I have Cacoa nibs and powder. Is there a way I can made paste it is that something totally different? Thank you!!!

Martina @ KetoDiet one year ago #

Hi Trina, cacao nibs would not work but you can use cacao powder instead (1 tbsp), plus you can use 1 more tbsp of cacao butter or coconut oil. Or use 85-90% dark chocolate instead of cacao paste. I hope this helps!

Hi!
Any substitutes to almond products in this recipe?

You can use liquid coconut milk (the one from carton like Aroy-D) partially mixed with water (half and half). Instead of almond butter, you can use any nut butter, seed butter or even coconut butter. I hope this helps!
