Hot Cocoa
Hot Cocoa
Serves 1 – easily doubled or tripled or more!
1 Point on all plans
- 1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 Tbsp Monkfruit sweetener (or sweetener of your choice – Truvia, Splenda, etc – if using those, just use 1 packet)
- 1 Tbsp fat free half and half or cashew/almond milk
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract OR for peppermint hot cocoa use peppermint extract
- 1 cup unsweetened almond or cashew (my preference) milk – if using regular milk, recalculate points.
-
In a mug, combine cocoa, sweetener, vanilla and 1 Tbsp of half and half or milk. Stir until smooth and combined – it will be a thick paste.
-
Heat remaining 1 cup of milk to desired temperature.
-
Add to cocoa paste and mix/whisk well until combined. Top as desired, adapting the points as necessary.
