Chef’s Insight

Experiment with different keto-friendly sweeteners to find the one that suits your taste best. - For a richer flavor, try using dark chocolate instead of unsweetened cocoa powder.

Notes

Feel free to adjust the sweetness level by adding more or less keto-friendly sweetener. - For a non-dairy version, substitute coconut milk with a nut milk of your choice.

Cultural or Historical Background

The mocktail is inspired by the classic combination of chocolate and cinnamon in Mexican hot chocolate recipes.
