How to Make Mexican Hot Chocolate For Diabetics

  1. In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 ounce (28g) unsweetened dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher) and 1/4 cup (60ml) strong brewed coffee. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy (about 2 minutes).
  2. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice.
  3. Gradually whisk in 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk (or other milk alternative of your choice), stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
  4. Once the mixture is heated through and steaming (but not boiling), remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
  5. Pour into two mugs.
  6. Add Splenda or your preferred sugar substitute to taste. Start with 1-2 packets and adjust according to your preference.
  7. Top each mug with a dollop of sugar-free whipped topping (optional) and serve immediately. Enjoy!
