I need to be honest with you. I was highly doubtful that I would ever discover The Perfect Cup of Hot Chocolate.

When it comes to creating recipes that are Gluten Free or Paleo it isn’t always pretty and it rarely tastes good the first go around.   So, when I tasted this hot chocolate that my daughter created that is Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free, and can be made Dairy-Free and it was the best hot chocolate that I have ever tasted.   I was shocked!  Delighted but shocked!

An added benefit is that cocoa powder is an excellent source of fiber, magnesium, copper, and manganese, and a good source of iron
and phosphorus.

The lesson I learned is that sometimes while experimenting with new ingredients you actually get a better product than you have ever tasted before.   I am excited to present to you today The Perfect Cup of Hot Chocolate!

 

The Perfect Cup of Hot Chocolate

Serves 1

 

Ingredients

2 TBS. honey

1 1/2 TBS. baking cocoa

DIRECTIONS

  1. Combine the honey and cocoa powder in the bottom of a mug and stir with a fork until the mixture is completely combined.
  2. Pour in the milk and stir slightly.  Microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds.  Stir with the fork until the milk and cocoa mixture is combined.
  3. Sip this heavenly mixture until finished and make it again 🙂

    1. Agreed Mark! In fact my husband and I have a tradition of having an after dinner coffee alone together to talk about the day and I have switched to this hot chocolate instead of the coffee. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
