Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons Splenda (granulated or packets)
• 2 cups Milk (dairy or unsweetened non-dairy)
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt (optional, for taste balance)
• 0 Whipped cream (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the unsweetened cocoa powder and Splenda together until evenly combined. This will make it easier to dissolve in the milk later.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium-low heat until it is warm but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.

Step 3

Slowly whisk the cocoa powder and Splenda mixture into the warm milk. Whisk continuously to avoid lumps and ensure the cocoa powder dissolves completely.

Step 4

Stir in the vanilla extract and a small pinch of salt (if desired) to enhance the flavor of the cocoa.

Step 5

Continue to heat the mixture, stirring gently, until it reaches your desired serving temperature. Do not allow it to boil.

Step 6

Pour the hot cocoa into mugs and top with whipped cream, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
