I bought Scharffenberger and Guittard cocoa powder and baking bars when they were in the stores this christmas to experiment with making a drinking chocolate. Will need to make up four batches-one all Scharffenberger, one all Guittard, one all Ghirardelli, and one with Hershey’s cocoa matched with Baker’s chocolate-and run some taste tests. What I’ve learned so far from just using 1T cocoa powder and 1T allulose in my cup to make hot cocoa is that a plant milk just isn’t necessary. I mix the powders in my mug, hydrate them and mix into a paste with 1T heavy cream, then add boiling water from the kettle and use my milk frother to make it all creamy. The Hershey’s powder needs some help with a couple nuggets of cocoa butter thrown in, but it has just half the fat that the premium cocoa powders do so that isn’t surprising. Sometimes anise extract is a nice add-in.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was shopping at Amazon for some sugar free/keto hot cocoa and I actually saw one for like $48! Thank you again. That's looks so good.
I’m so happy to find your channel😊 I am a type 2 diabetic & I love hot chocolate so this recipe is one I will definitely make. I have made several of your recipes & they are absolutely delicious. The next one I’m going to try is your keto crackers because I love to snack on cheese & crackers too. Thank you so much Carolyn,for all of the time & effort you’ve taken to create these wonderful recipes oh & by the way my name is Carolyn too. 😀 Have a lovely day 😀
Why am I watching this and why was this recommended to me? I just started a 3-day waterfast and today is day 1. 😫 This looks so delicious. 🤤 After I break my fast, it's hot chocolate time.
Amazing recipe - truly love them all. I appreciate that you are not hard selling products like so many YT'ers eventually do. Hope you are ignoring the Keto Police who seem to have rung in the New Year with a vengeance. 😂
The keto police are always out with a vengeance! 🤣 FYI... I do some sponsored videos too. Gotta pay the bills and these vids are a lot of work! But I try not to do it too often.
I use a pure unsweetened chocolate block from Willies Cacao (I’m in the uk, not sure if it’s available in the us) and when I put it in chilli I use a fine grater…I’d do that with this mix, then just stir well with a balloon whisk. Save all the processor dust 😄 I like the flavour variations with this too!
I make something very similar, but add the spoonfuls of cocoa etc to a mug as the milk is heating..add a tiny bit of cold milk to the mug to make a paste then the hot milk..or half milk half water..but if your organised..this way is probably better.
I made this - without the collagen. I used Half & Half for the milk. OMG! It was so good! It was sweeter than I would prefer, but that is easy to fix. I used powdered vanilla, which might have contributed to the extra sweetness. I’ve been in the mood for hot chocolate lately, so this was timely.
You read my mind. Hot cocoa was my daily treat at bedtime. But the options available are awful. I attempted to do the copycat swiss miss recipe. It was better than everything I tried and helped me realize I was overshooting the amount of cocoa required. Making it keto left it lacking big time in creaminess. I can't wait to try your version and maybe get my nightly treat back. 😊
I’m from the UK 🇬🇧. We find it hard to source all your Keto ingredients, but this one I managed. This has to be the best hot chocolate I’ve ever had. Thank you from me and my sweet tooth.
I was so excited to try your recipe. I just bought the usweetened chocolate today. I have tried so many horrible cocoa recipes; but this one is wonderful. THANK YOU! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! You are a wonder!!!
Hi Carolyn, this mix was much tastier than the low carb hot chocolate powder mix I bought, I had a fine sugar free chocolate of 90% cocoa that worked amazingly in this hot chocolate powder mix. This recipe is also good for me because I have lactose intolerance ! I made it once with lactose-free milk and once with almond milk, both hot drinks were so delicious. You made me happy, thank you . By the way, your videos are also ..fantastic, so I'm subscribe To this channel .. ❤️😋!
Finally a simple & delicious hot chocolate recipe! Didn’t use the collagen but it turned out great 2:23 . Thanks so much! Enjoy your channel & variety of recipes 👍
I knew you would come out with this!! I’ll be making some soon. This looks wonderful. I just bought 2 jars of allulose so I’m set. Happy New Year to you and your family. I look forward to your new content this year.
This turned out very well, I used Jay Rob Egg white powder in place of the collagen & only 1/4c of monkfruit powdered sweetener, no salt of course. Thank you, very good recipe & with added cream may not even need the protein powder. I am in UK
I make a simple cacoa drink in morning . 1 tablespoon of organic baking cacoa with 1 tablespoon of Monkfruit sweetener and 2 tablespoons of coconut cream . Blend with coffee frother . Simple and easy and all products from Costco . I would use Allulose but not easily available in Canada . The online price for the small amount of Allulose is way too much .
This is delish. I use my electric milk frother to mix it comes out really foamy but use an extra tall container or it will whip it out of a cup. YUM thank you!
Thank you for this recipe! I love, love, love it. I have made two batches; the first one has unflavored collagen protein and I use it with HWC & water (coffee), and the second batch I substituted my favorite chocolate protein powder (Equip) for the collagen. Both batches are great with a little HWC and water/coffee. Also, I found if I finely grated my chocolate bar, I could mix the batch with a hand whisk - less messy for me. Love your recipes and appreciate your time and effort to bring us great recipes and videos!!!
The great part about this is that you can even adjust it after the fact. Too sweet? Add a bit more of the other ingredients. Not sweet enough? Stir more sweetener into the mix.
Dear Carolyn, You look fabulous, Your hair looks really good and what an amazing color on you. A big fan here, We met 7 years ago in SF, on your book tour. Your recipes are a permenant part of low carb style.
Muchas gracias por la receta lo hice mi hot coco porque aquí en el norte de Texas esta muy frío y quería al calientito y hice la mezcla con la ingredientes que usted uso y ahora mismo me estoy tomando mi hotcoco delicioso le puse unos bombones keto super bueno tks tks tks
Love all your recipes, Carolyn!!! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I have spent so much money on so many different sugar free hot chocolate mixes and they just are horrible. Excited to mix this up today before the below zero temps hit tomorrow.
Hot chocolate is so quickly drank by me that I gave up putting all this work into it 😞 but by all means If you love hot chocolate and you don't drink it that fast put the effort in! I still say Carolyn's is great! For me, I'm easily entertained by two heaping scoops of vital proteins chocolate collagen with stevia top off with two to four tablespoons of heavy whipping cream and two drops of trader Joe's organic stevia. I'm in heaven lol
YUM! Absolutely correct! I agree having ready made cocoa mix is a must have!! I am dairy free & love the convenience of having it ready to go so I put coconut milk pwd in & it tastes great. I still use coconut milk to make & strong coffee most often 😍 I also use pwd vanilla bean & finely ground Maldon smoky salt for an extra exquisite flavor. I am able to get a homogeneous mix by just sifting them together when using the pwd vanilla but I don't use the chocolate bar either. 🤔 ?? Maybe the coconut milk pwd brings enough fat?? Plus the choc collagen I use has MCT oil pwd & acacia fiber so it still tastes fatty enough. Thank You for sharing Your brilliant kitchen science magic!! YOU ROCK #1!
@@AllDayIDreamAboutFood I have found like everything, all coconut milk pwds are not the same. 😉 Maybe You will find one that works for You... but if it ain't broke - don't fix it 🤓😍🖖🏼
Ahí ahí ahí apenas me va a llegar el hot coco que ordene y si esta caro 7 bolsitas x17 dolares los usare pero serán los últimos que ordene voy hacer esta mezcla de Hot coco me encanta y tengo todos los ingredientes yeeeeeee tks carolina
Yummmm! Love your recipes and used many or variations according to Australian equivalent ingredients. While I am nearly always happy with my efforts I live alone. Making 2, 4 or more servings at a time I tend to freeze leftovers for another time. I nearly always find that freezing most things is a disappointment when I use them again. The worst is pasta and pasta dishes like lasagne, nearly always throw them out as they are tough and dry. Would appreciate info on recipes I can make and freeze that are still edible the second time round. Have been living a keto lifestyle for over 2 years, lost 25 kilos and reversed diabetes. Just want to know what I can cook and freeze, particularly main meals and snacks. Have plenty of treat/sweet foods that freeze well but struggle with my meals.
Thank you for this! I have been craving some healthy hot chocolate. I don’t keep milk in the house I wonder if this could be made with heavy cream and water? Worth a try :)
Have you tried KOS organic coconut milk powder in a dry mix? Only 1 ingredient (no fillers)! This is what I use in my keto instant hot chocolate mix. Just coconut milk powder, cocoa powder, sweetener and a little salt.
Could you please do a 'you' version of Banoffee pie. For the life of me, I cannot find a keto-friendly version and all the toffee sauces that are shown run rather than set. I am sure you would know how to do it. Thank you.
I just use sugar free cocoa powder (dark) and hot milk of your choice ……..can use some hot water mixed in to your own taste. I don’t use any sweetener’s…….as I don’t really like it sweet.
Can't wait to try it! Question: I have two different bags of unopened "Collagen Peptides" that I have not tried yet. Can collagen peptides be used instead of plain collagen powder? Or are they the same thing?
I ran out of almond milk one day and added water and almond flour in my blender. Ta da! Almond milk! I don’t know how much I used, I kept adding both until I had the taste I wanted. Do you think there’s a way we could do something like that with this recipe?
@@SP-ql9xz depends on your taste, how creamy you like it. But I usually use 1/8 to 1/4 C. of cream and use 10-11 oz of water.. 1/8 C is equal 2 tablespoons or 1 oz, and is actually enough. This recipe actually calls for 10-12 oz of your favorite milk. In the print out recipe, she writes that she uses 10 oz hemp milk and 1 oz heavy cream. All of that being said, just add cream and water together to your preferred taste.
I see you used most of the Chocolate secrets: Multiple types of chocolate (both dutched and normal processed from different sources), vanilla, salt but you missed instant coffee and palm oil (gives it a silky smoothness). The primary issue with your mixing technique is that the chocolate needs to be cooked or it will taste grainy, so add it to your pan of milk and whisk it frequently over heat.
