Dark Chocolate Hot Cocoa

Using a high-grade, unsweetened dark chocolate powder gives this hot cocoa a rich, deeply intense, chocolate flavor without the Calories.  I recommend using a 60 to 70% unsweetened dark cocoa powder.  You can readily find and purchase high-grade cocoa powder at Costco (or try a restaurant supply store) for a reasonable price, and cocoa lasts forever.


Ingredients:

  • 1 T 60 to 70% unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 capful of pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup 2% milk
  • 3 packets of Splenda or 1 tsp of sucralose


INSTRUCTIONS


  1. Heat cocoa powder, vanilla, milk, and 3 packets of Spenda or sucralose in a small saucepan over medium low heat.  Stir well with a small whisk until your desired temperature, making sure not to bring to boil. 

  2. Pour into cup.  *You may add 1 T of nonfat real dairy whipped topping, as it is a free food. Serving size: ½ cup.  Nutrition Content:  105 Calories, 9.5g fat, 7g protein, 11 carbohydrates, 70g sodium.
