Good for You Hot Cocoa

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe. Finally, a hot chocolate recipe without all the sugar!

Serving Size: Serving size: 1 cup

Ingredients: 

• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (use a good brand like Ghiradelli)
• 6 tsp of Truvia
• 1 pinch grated sea salt
• 1/3 cup HOT water
• 2 cups of whole milk
• 1 cup of whipping cream
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions:
Combine the cocoa, Truvia and pinch of salt in a saucepan. Blend in the boiling water using a whisk. Whisk until completely smooth. Heat on medium high just until you see teeny bubbles forming along the edge of the pan. Stir in the milk in milk and cream. Heat until the same teeny bubbles start to form along the edge of the pan, stirring often. Don’t boil. Take off heat and add vanilla. Stir once more.

You can add more milk if you want a lighter cup of cocoa.

I sprinkled the top of mine with cinnamon.

Other options:

• Top with whipping cream sweetened with Truvia and vanilla
• Add a tsp of mint flavoring for minty cocoa
• Add a bit of your favorite liqueur to your mug for an adult beverage. Such as Grand Marnier, Cointreau, Chambord or Kahlua are all good ideas

Enjoy!

Cheers
