When mornings are getting colder and you need a little boost, there’s nothing better than a hot drink. This low-carb hot chocolate is the best swap to my keto bulletproof latte. I am a chocolate lover so this keto hot chocolate is a delicious alternative. I’ve had many requests for a sugar-free hot chocolate recipe, so time to share my vision of a creamy and dairy-free keto hot chocolate.
Let’s get this straight, regular hot chocolate is not keto-friendly because cow milk is an important source of carbs and a lot of traditional recipes also add raw sugar. But if you are asking the question, it must be because you are after a low-carb keto hot chocolate, right? Look no further, this recipe is the perfect keto hot chocolate!
This keto hot chocolate is a very simple recipe made with only 4 ingredients. These are what I use
Pretty simple, hot cocoa as the name tells you, is a light hot beverage made from cocoa powder, sweetener, and milk. On the opposite, hot chocolate is higher in fat, which is great on a keto diet to boost your macros. As it contains chocolate, it gives a creamy rich texture to your drink. In this recipe, I am using sugar-free stevia-sweetened chocolate. It contains no sugar and a good amount of fat that adds a delicious velvety texture to the drink.
You can of course serve your hot chocolate plain, with no topping. It will be light and delicious. But my advice, for a rich comforting drink, is to add a generous dollop of whipped coconut cream on top of your hot chocolate.
I am using canned coconut cream to keep my drink dairy-free. I scoop out the cream from the can, whip the cream in a cold mixing bowl with an electric whisk, and sweeten it with stevia drops.
You can also use regular whipped cream, provided it’s sugar-free. The must is to add chopped sugar-free dark chocolate on top. Make sure you combine the toppings with the drink to boost the creamy flavor of the drink.

Can I make it ahead of time and then warm it up again the next day?
Making ahead any hot chocolate recipe is never as good as fresh. It should work but not something I recommend, Enjoy, XOXO Carine
Thank you for sharing this recipe! I’m featuring some holiday favorites on my blog and have linked to this post (and a few others). You can find it here: https://buckcreativeco.com/keto-desserts-10-recipes-survive-holidays/
I’ve been keto since the summer and have dropped 40 pounds. I’m struggling with the holidays though. So glad I can find many substitutes on your blog!
Amazing weight lose! Well done and thanks for the reshare. XOXO Carine.
Thank you for this ‘no-fuss’ hot cocoa recipe… how delicious! Like that it’s easy to prepare and dairy free. And sure beats packet hot cocoa. Enjoying a cup next to the fireplace while it snows. This will definitely be a repeat treat this Ohio winter! 🙂
Thanks so much! We all deserve a delicious hot cocoa on this cold season. Enjoy the blog recipes, XOXO Carine.
Do you think this would work in a Cocomotion machine. In that I just add milk or water and the powder and turn it on. it mixes and heats at the same time.
I don’t have one of those amazing machine but it looks like it will work perfectly indeed! Enjoy the hot chocolate, XOXO Carine.
Can we use Cacao powder instead of cocoa powder ??
Sure no problem! It will have a stronger cocoa flavor, that is all. Enjoy the low carb recipes on the blog. XOXO Carine.
