Description
A delightful and spicy Keto Aztec Hot Chocolate with Cinnamon and Chili that combines rich flavors and a creamy texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups unsweetened coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
- 2 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener or your favorite keto-friendly sweetener
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust based on your heat preference)
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- A dash of sea salt
- 1 tablespoon high-quality dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa), finely chopped
- Sugar-free whipped topping (optional, for garnish)
- Chili pepper (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- In a saucepan, pour in the coconut milk and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir in the raw cacao powder, monk fruit sweetener, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, almond extract, and a dash of sea salt, mixing well until everything is fully blended and warmed, about 3-5 minutes. Avoid boiling.
- Once the mixture is steaming, add the finely chopped dark chocolate and stir continuously until it melts completely, creating a luxurious and smooth texture.
- Sample your elixir and tweak the sweetness or spiciness by incorporating additional sweetener or cayenne if desired.
- Take the saucepan off the heat and carefully pour the elixir into your favorite mugs. If you like, add a dollop of sugar-free whipped topping on top and finish with a chili pepper for a decorative flair.
- Serve right away and savor the delightful fusion of flavors in your spicy chocolate elixir!
Notes
- For a richer experience, replace half of the coconut milk with heavy whipping cream.
- For an adventurous twist, consider adding a hint of cardamom for an exotic flavor profile!
