Ingredients
- ½ cup butter
- 3 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa
- ½ cup low carb sugar substitute more or less to taste
- ¼ teaspoon stevia concentrated powder or pure monk fruit powder
- 1 cup heavy cream look for one without additives like carageenan
- ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
US Customary - Metric
Instructions
Stir butter and chocolate over low heat until melted and combined.
Mix in cocoa, sugar substitute(s), heavy cream, almond milk and salt.
Heat slowly until a boil is reached. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Serve warm. Store in refrigerator and reheat small batches as needed.
Notes
For the sweetener, I like to use ½ cup low carb sweetenerplus ¼ teaspoon stevia powder extract. This reduces the amount of erythritol. However, you can use about 1 ¼ to 1 ½ cups low carb sweetener instead of the two different sweeteners.
Avoid using a sweetener with too much erythritol in it as it can crystallize in the refrigerator. If the erythritol does crystallize, add a bit of heavy cream and reheat in the microwave. The crystals should dissolve with the added cream and heating.
Each serving is about 2 tablespoons.
