Single Serve Mexican Hot Chocolate (S)

I’m a huge fan of hot cocoa, especially ones that are a bit different. In the past, I’ve created recipes for mint hot cocoa and recently perfected this recipe I’m sharing with you today! There’s something special about a cup of steaming Mexican Hot Chocolate. Mexican Hot Chocolate is just as creamy as your regular hot chocolate, but it’s complemented by a unique spice blend and usually uses quality vegan chocolate for baking. Β This cocoa includes a burst of flavors from chili powder, vanilla, cinnamon and if you want a little kick, cayenne pepper.

My Mexican Hot Chocolate is a unique spin on the traditional Winter favorite. This one has coconut oil! It's low-carb, sugar-free and THM S!

The recipe is single serve but makes a very large mug. I was able to get my share and satisfy the curiosity of two little men. Traditional Mexican Hot Cocoas are heavy in cream and sugar, but I decided to add creaminess to this recipe using coconut oil to keep it a little lighter. This is a good idea, especially if you want to indulge in a squirt of fat-free Reddi-Whip on top or even whip up a batch of homemade whipped cream. I’d recommend the extra sprinkle of cinnamon as a garnish, it makes things prettier. πŸ˜‰ If you don’t feel like indulging, this recipe is a Deep S.

My hot cocoa is the perfect way to warm up on a cold day and with the impending winter storm brewing, this recipe is timely.
