There is something about hot chocolate that warms from the inside out! It’s one of my favorite treats in the winter. It melts frozen fingers and adds sweetness to winter memories.
While I like traditional hot chocolate with marshmallows or whipped cream, I wanted to create something a little more unique this year. I decided to experiment with flavors of white chocolate and raspberry.
White chocolate and raspberries together is one of my favorite dessert combinations. I’ve used this combination before in popsicles. While I enjoy the flavors together, I also love the look of the ruby red raspberries against the creamy white chocolate–it gets me in the holiday spirit!
This Low-Carb Raspberry White Hot Chocolate experience begins with dribbling raspberry syrup down the edge of the mug. Using clear mugs allows the syrup to show through and makes a dramatic presentation. Creamy hot white chocolate is poured in to the top. Next, we add a dollop of whipped cream, and finally, top off they whole creation with more raspberry syrup.
Since I have yet to find a low-carb white chocolate, I actually create the flavor by using the ingredients for white chocolate. White chocolate is made from cocoa butter, milk solids, and sugar. Using cocoa butter melted in cream with a low-carb sweetener creates the white chocolate flavor without the carbs.
I hope this Low-Carb Raspberry White Hot Chocolate makes your winter a bit warmer and your holidays a bit sweeter. Enjoy!
