Ever since I can remember, my Momma would make us the best homemade hot chocolate.  It was always my favorite and so much better than that packaged stuff you can buy in the store.  Once on Keto, I really realized that her traditional version would not work for me, but a revised version sure would!  So I asked her for the recipe and made some little changes and what do you know, it was delicious!  I will share both versions with you so that depending on your preference, you have some options!

Keep in mind, this recipe is for two, but you can reduce or add to accommodate the amount of servings you are making.

Keto Ingredients:

• 1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
• 1 Cup Almond Milk
• 2 to 2-1/2 Teaspoons of Special Dark Cocoa Powder (Hershey Brand)

Traditional Ingredients:
