Ingredients
Liquid Ingredients
- 1 cup Kettle & Fire Chicken Bone Broth (or substitute with beef bone broth)
- 1/2 cup milk of choice (Fairlife 2%, almond milk, or coconut milk recommended)
Dry Ingredients
- 2 tbsp raw cacao powder
- 1.5 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 scoop collagen powder (optional)
Toppings (Optional)
- Whipped cream or dairy-free whipped topping
- Marshmallows (recommend My Dandies gluten-free marshmallows)
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a small saucepan, pour in the bone broth, milk, raw cacao powder, maple syrup, and optional collagen powder. This combination forms the base of your hot cocoa and provides both flavor and nutrition.
- Heat and whisk: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Whisk the mixture continuously until all the ingredients are fully combined, and the drink is heated through but not boiling. This ensures a smooth, creamy texture and even warmth.
- Serve and garnish: Pour the hot cocoa into a mug, then top with whipped cream or marshmallows if desired. Enjoy this comforting and healthy beverage warm.
Notes
- Use bone broth brands like Kettle & Fire for best flavor and quality.
- Collagen is optional but adds protein and supports joint health.
- Non-dairy milk alternatives like almond or coconut milk work well for a dairy-free version.
- Sweetness can be adjusted to taste by adding more or less maple syrup.
- For a vegan option, substitute bone broth with vegetable broth, though flavor will differ.
- Whisk continuously while heating to prevent cacao powder from clumping or sticking.
