Vegan Keto Chai hot chocolate

Hot chocolate is every chocolate lover's dream and this cold weather certainly calls for some. Tis' the season of love, happiness, positivity and chocolate! Hence, presenting my version of Vegan Keto Chai hot chocolate.

Vegan Keto Chai Hot Chocolate

Evidently, it’s chai spiced, low in carb and is vegan, which means it beautifully fits into my diet and lifestyle now. Whether or not you are vegan or keto, you will love this healthy yet yum version for sure.

Vegan Hot Chocolate

Almond milk is my favorite non-dairy milk, but feel free to use soy, coconut, rice or anything that best suits your lifestyle and palate. Chai spice gives the hot chocolate a new bold dimension and adds a depth in flavor that lingers on your palate with each sip of this hot chocolate. However, you can replace it with gingerbread spice, pumpkin spice or simply cinnamon for a newer version of this vegan keto chai spiced hot chocolate recipe. I hope you love this recipe as much as I do.

Vegan Keto Chai Hot Chocolate Recipe:

Keto Hot Chocolate

Step-0: Prepare Chai Spice Mix for Hot Chocolate

  • Well, you can skip this step if you have chai spice readily available. If not, follow these steps.
  • Prepare chai spice mixture by taking these following ingredients.
  • Add 1 teaspoon ginger powder, ½ teaspoon cardamom powder, ¼ teaspoon of clove, nutmeg and cinnamon and a pinch of black pepper powder. Mix well and store in an airtight glass jar.

Step-1: Prepare Hot Chocolate(Two Ways)

  • In a sauce pan, take two and half cups of almond milk.
  • Add four tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa, half table spoon swerve, ½ teaspoon chai spice and mix well.

  • Take two and half cups of warm almond milk in a blender jar.
  • Add four tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa, ½ to 1 teaspoon of chai spice and half table spoon swerve, and blend the mixture until creamy and frothy.
  • Optional, but highly recommended: blend in two tablespoons of melted unsweetened dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
  • KETO: while this hot chocolate is keto-friendly, you can make it more keto by adding 1 teaspoon hemp/avocado or MCT oil, 1 scoop of protein powder preferrably chocolate flavored, and coconut cream.

Step-3: Make Coconut Whipping Cream

 Aquafaba Cream
  • In a bowl, take 1 cup of full-fat coconut cream, ¼cup aquafaba, and ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar. Add in ¼ teaspoon of almond extract and 1 teaspoon of swerve.
  • Whisk well till the cream forms soft peaks.

Step-4: Serve Vegan Keto Chai Hot Chocolate

  • Pour chai spiced hot chocolate in mugs and top with whipped cream, marshmallow(if you want) and cocoa nibs or morsels.
  • If you still want it more chocolatey( just like me), top with two tablespoons of chocolate sauce before serving.
