    In my home it's popular all year round. My two girls have taken a particular liking to hot cocoa so we always have some store bought hot cocoa mix at home always. Now if you are a lover of hot chocolate or hot cocoa, and you are on a sugar free / keto / low carb way of life, there is no reason why you should give this up. Good news you can have your sweet treat without all that sugar.

    Sugar free Hot Chocolate mix or Sugar free Hot cocoa mix

    Hot Chocolate mix and hot cocoa mix are used interchangeable because they are actually the same. However there is a difference between hot chocolate and hot cocoa.

    What is the difference between Hot Cocoa and Hot Chocolate?

    Hot Cocoa is a hot beverage made from hot cocoa mix which is a mix of cocoa, sugar and milk. It is a lighter beverage than hot chocolate. Hot Chocolate is made by melting Chocolate and milk which yields a thicker beverage than hot cocoa.

    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

    Quick Tips to get your homemade hot cocoa mix right.

    • Make sure to use a good quality Cocoa powder.
    • You will need to sieve the sugar-free hot cocoa mix after mixing up all the ingredients for a smoother consistency. Alternatively you can blitz it in a food processor.
    • Powdered Sweetener is best for this recipe. If you don't have powdered sweetener and you have the granular one, use a coffee grinder to make your own homemade powdered sweetener.

      Is the carb count shown here for the recipe if you use the heavy whipping cream powder or if you use coconut milk powder

        Hi Eva,

        The carb count doesn’t include heavy cream powder or coconut milk powder as it’s optional and you can make the hot cocoa mix without either. You can also choose to add either when mixing with hot water.
        However I calculated those for you below. Will add it to the post later. Hope you find it helpful

      I just made this up! But I would like a more cocoa taste, can I increase the amount of cocoa. I also use the Terrassoul cacao!

        Hi Sarah,

        Yes you can increase the amount of cocoa and reduce the heavy cream powder if you used heavy cream.

        Alternatively leave the heavy cream powder out completely and add to your taste when making the drink. If you do leave the heavy cream powder out you might not need to increase the cocoa. Hope that helps. Thank you for stopping by. Enjoy! 😀

      I didn’t add any kind of dairy or dairy free powder and made it exactly as you said with half the amount of monk fruit…my husband says it just tastes very bland to him. This is for him and I want him to like it so he’ll quit with the store bought sugary stuff. Do I add more mix than suggested or do I need to up an ingredient? Any help would be awesome. Thank you for doing this!!!

        Hi Holly,

        I think you should increase the monkfruit to ¾ cup and for him, you might need to include the heavy cream powder. These changes will make it more interesting for him. Hope this helps.
