How to make Sugar free Hot Cocoa Mix.
Sugar free Hot Cocoa Mix requires just three ingredients and an occasional fourth which I usually don’t add. These ingredients are Cocoa Powder ( I love the Terrassoul and the Hershey’s brand), Powdered sweetener (I use Monk fruit blend or Xylitol) and some salt. The occasional fourth ingredient is heavy cream powder or either coconut cream powder or coconut milk powder if dairy free.
Please don’t skip the salt. You would love the flavor it adds to this sugar free hot chocolate mix.
The net carbs for this sugar free hot cocoa mix without the heavy cream powder is less than 1g per 2 Tbsp. I don’t count the erythritol because it’s a sugar alcohol and doesn’t cause a spike in blood sugar levels for most people. If
