Mmmmm, Golden Chocolate

I have this thing I do, because I like chocolate candy.

I take half a jar of coconut oil, warm enough to be liquid, and add an equal amount of unsweetened cocoa powder and mix thoroughly.  





 I add a squirt of something - stevia extract, berry flavored MIO water enhancer…  




 Then I let it sit at not-summer room temperature so it'll be solid but not too hard to spoon out.  When I want candy, I grab a spoonful of this stuff and I'm happy.  Mmmmm, chocolate.

So then I really wanted hot chocolate.  Keto hot chocolate.  And guess what?  A good spoonful of this stuff in a mug of hot almond milk, with a little cinnamon, maybe whipped cream on top….  Mmmmm, HOT chocolate.

Then one night I couldn't decide if I wanted hot chocolate or golden milk - that yummy healthy turmeric drink - and it occurred to me that I enjoyed curried chocolate when I could find it, back in pre-Keto days, and it might be OK to mix the two…

So this happened:

Golden Chocolate

1 cup of warm-enough to be liquid coconut oil,

 
1 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup turmeric powder

1 tsp. black pepper

Stevia to taste

Mix and cool.  Whisk a spoonful in hot almond milk.  Or, in half a mug of hot almond milk, then add coffee.

You can add cinnamon, too.

And that's what I've been using for hot drinks lately.
