The traditional Mexican Hot Chocolate is made with Mexican-style chocolate wafers, such as Abuelita or Ibarra (which can be found in most grocery stores). This chocolate has cinnamon, almonds and white sugar in it. Because this is NOT Low-Carb friendly, I substituted the wafer with low carb, sugar free ingredients. But, I promise, it tastes SO GOOD!

In Mexico, you would use a molinillo to create a lovely silky foamy drink. The one you see me using in this video I purchased in San Miguel de Allande, Mexico. BTW, if you want to see a beautiful Spanish colonial town, it's definitely worth a visit. If you don't have a molinillo handy, you can use an immersion or hand blender instead.

Use the sweetener of your choice, but I used a combination of Swerve granulated sweetener and a bit of liquid Stevia. It really depends on how sweet you like your hot chocolate, so adjust depending on your preference. I personally don't like overly sweet things, so you may want to add a few drops of liquid Stevia or monk fruit.

I hope that you find this recipe as yummy as I do and make this often during these cold fall and winter days.
