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.

Tips and Substitutions
- 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. 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.
