Spiced Hot Chocolate with Stevia: Healthy Recipe

Few things are as comforting as a cup of hot chocolate when temperatures drop. This spiced version adds hints of cinnamon and clove that enhance the flavor of the cocoa. To sweeten this recipe without adding calories, we’ll use Stevia 1:2, which blends perfectly into hot preparations.

Technical Sheet

• Estimated time: 12 minutes

• Difficulty: ⭐

• Servings: 2 people

Ingredients

• 500 ml of milk or plant-based drink (oat or almond work very well)

• 3 tablespoons of pure cocoa powder

• 1 teaspoon of Stevia 1:2

• 1 cinnamon stick

• 2 cloves

• A pinch of nutmeg

• A pinch of Bonsalt (to enhance the chocolate flavor)

Step-by-Step Professional Preparation

1. Infusing the aromas: Put the milk in a saucepan over medium heat with the cinnamon stick, cloves, and nutmeg. Gently heat without letting it boil so the milk infuses with the spices.

2. Mixing the cocoa: Remove the whole spices (cinnamon and cloves). Add the pure cocoa powder and use a whisk to beat well, making sure there are no lumps.

3. Sweetening: Add the Stevia 1:2 and the pinch of Bonsalt . Keep stirring over low heat until the mixture thickens slightly and is well heated through.

4. Final touch: If you prefer a thicker texture, you can let it reduce for a couple more minutes over very low heat.

5. Serving: Serve in large cups and, if you like, sprinkle a little more ground cinnamon on top just before drinking.
