01 -

You get that luxurious cafe style hot chocolate without spiking your blood sugar or kicking you out of ketosis
The heavy cream creates this velvety mouthfeel that actually feels indulgent instead of like a sad diet compromise

02 -

Resist the urge to crank up the heat to speed things along, high heat will scorch the chocolate and give everything a burnt taste
Powdered sweetener really does matter here, granular versions leave a weird sandy texture no matter how much you whisk

03 -

Sift your cocoa powder before adding it to prevent any stubborn lumps that will not whisk out
Let the mixture sit for one minute off heat before serving, this allows the flavors to meld together
