Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups (480 ml) unsweetened coconut or almond milk
  • 3 tablespoons (36 g / 1.27 oz) powdered erythritol
  • 2 tablespoons (14 g / 0.49 oz) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml / 0.1 fl oz) pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon (0.5 g / 0.02 oz) ground cinnamon
  • Coconut Milk Whipped Cream, for serving (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon (5 g / 0.18 oz) unsweetened cacao nibs or sugar-free dark chocolate chips, for garnish (optional)
  • For a frothy, café-style texture, use a milk frother or carefully blend the hot mixture in a blender for 15-20 seconds before serving.
  • To prevent clumps, whisk the dry (erythritol, cocoa powder, cinnamon) together in the saucepan before slowly pouring in the milk.
  • Customize your cocoa by adding a drop of peppermint extract for a minty twist, a pinch of cayenne for a spicy kick, or a dash of espresso powder to intensify the chocolate flavor.
