Step 1

In a small saucepan, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar substitute, and a pinch of salt.

Place the saucepan over medium heat and slowly pour in the remaining milk, whisking constantly to ensure the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.

Step 4

Heat the mixture until it is hot but not boiling, about 3-5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
