DAIRY FREE OPTION

This recipe uses almond milk which is dairy free, but we need to replace the heavy cream with canned, full fat coconut milk to make this recipe completely dairy free.

INGREDIENTS

12 Ounces Almond Breeze Original AlmondMilk
4 Ounces Heavy Cream
2 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
2 Tablespoons Granular Sweetener (Click here to see my favorite on Amazon)

INSTRUCTIONS

Stovetop

Heat the almond milk and the heavy cream in a small sauce pan over medium heat until it is steaming...about 5 minutes. Whisk in the cocoa powder and sweetener until fully incorporated. Serve in 2 mugs.

Microwave

Heat the almond milk and heavy cream in 2 mugs for 2-3 minutes or until the desired temperature. Stir in the cocoa powder and the sweetener. Serve

JENNIFER'S TIPS

DAIRY FREE: Almond milk is dairy free but to make this recipe completely dairy free, replace the heavy cream with canned full fat coconut milk.
NUTRITION: The nutrition information below is for 1 cup of the hot chocolate using heavy cream and Ghirardelli cocoa powder.
It is important to heat the liquid before adding in the cocoa powder or it will clump and be harder to incorporate.
Use unsweetened almond milk for the least amount of carbs
