So it's another start to a cold and long Minnesota winter. Yay
My husband and I usually have friends and family over on the weekends for a bonfire, some drinks and stories. (And yes in the snow!) Sounds crazy, but when you grow up here your blood thickens!
Anyways we usually have coffee and kaluha or baileys and hot chocolate. I am on the 3rd day of inductions, so I wasn't able to join in. I remembered seeing this recipe in the Atkins Diet Revolution book, and I thought I might give it a try. OMG!
This hit the spot exactly! This is not something I can have everyday, but man did it kick the chocolate and the sweet craving!!! I didn't even miss the liquor! I couldn't find this recipe posted anywhere, so I apologize if this is a repeat. Just thought anyone on a cool or cold winters night could definitely use this!
Hot Chocolate!
1 tblsp Heavy Whipping Cream
1/2 tblsp of Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
2 packets of Splenda
Water - See below
tblsp of Whipped Cream (optional)
Add Heavy Whipping Cream in microwave safe mug. Add water until desired amount fills mug. Heat in microwave about 1 min.
Add cocoa, splenda and whipped cream. Enjoy!
(With my adding total net carbs are about 3-5. It's 5 carbs with the addition of whipped cream.)
