Keto Creamy Hot Chocolate is all you need for those cold days. The warmth of hot chocolate and a book to read is my plan of a perfect weekend.
If you are anyone like me, who loves a perfect cup of hot chocolate to beat the cold and be cozy in bed; this recipe is for you. It is a quick recipe which does not require any expertise, and needs few ingredients.
What do you need ?
1] 100 % dark cocoa powder [ I use this]
2] Fresh cream or heavy whipping cream [ I use this]
3] Xylitol or Erythritol or Stevia drops [ I use this Xylitol, Erythritol and Stevia]
4] Vanilla bean paste or Vanilla extract [ I use this paste or these beans or store-bought extract]
5] Dark chocolate 85-100 % dark [ I use this and buy it in bulk as this is cheap for a kilo ! or you can use this one]
6] Almond Milk [ I use this or this or even this ]
How to meal prep this for a week ?
Keto creamy hot chocolate is what I prep for the whole week in winter. I love to microwave this and drink it after my meal or workout. There is another fat drink recipe on my blog which is the Indian Bulletproof drink, you should check that out and triple the ingredients if you want it for whole week. If you want any other bevearge, I have the Indian KETO CHAI too on my blog.
Want it to be dairy-free and nut-free ?
Swap the cream with coconut cream and if you want it nut-free ; swap almond milk with coconut milk.

very nice content, and sharing the information
Hey just wanted to share my innovation for keto mocha without sugar substitute that has snapped me out of my keto flu for now.
I hate the “sugar free” protein and prefer the sugarless one. Unfortunately I got vanilla flavoured protein that makes me burp a lot with a bitter aftertaste ( still preferable to sugar-free version). So instead of mixing with water, today I mixed it with heated coconut milk and half a teaspoon of coffee and a pinch of unsweetened cocoa…boom same creamy flavour a coffee is supposed to have and satisfying my sugar pangs to boot!( And no burping)
I thought to share with you as your blog is my inspiration for sticking to keto despite the crappy first week I’m having.
