This homemade low carb cocoa mix makes a great gift for friends and family on a low carb diet! It takes only minutes to make and with a cute container, ribbons or bows you have an easy homemade gift. Or just keep it for yourself for those cold winter days.
NOTE: Before you start do a test with 1 tablespoon sweetener + ½ tablespoon cocoa + ½ tablespoon powdered cream. Mix with 8 oz of hot water. Test to see if you like it sweeter and adjust accordingly. I prefer it less sweet.
Add all ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
Pour into a sealed container. Use 2 tablespoons per 8 oz of hot water or unsweetened almond milk.
*** Note I preferred Guittards or Divine cocoa rouge for it's intense chocolate taste and less carbs. You can find all of these ingredients on my Amazon page. I prefer Lakanto baking sweetener or Swerve confectioners sugar as it dissolves much easier than granular.
