Some emerging research suggests that erythritol might increase the risk of blood clots, but more studies are needed to confirm this potential link. Whether you decide to use erythritol or not, remember that all sweeteners should be consumed in moderation, and your keto diet should primarily focus on nutritious whole foods.

Instructions
- In a medium pot, combine the almond milk, 1 cup of the heavy cream, the granulated sweetener, 1/4 cup of the cocoa powder, the chocolate chips, 1-1/2 teaspoons of the vanilla, the cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk, then heat over medium-low heat, whisking frequently, until the hot chocolate starts to lightly simmer (do not overheat) and the cocoa powder and chips are completely dissolved, 12 to 14 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, whisk to combine and scrape off any chocolate stuck to the sides of the pot.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, add the heavy cream, powdered sweetener, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Using a hand mixer or a balloon whisk, whisk until the whipped cream forms soft peaks.
- Divide the hot chocolate among 4 mugs, top with a dollop of the whipped cream, sprinkle with the remaining cocoa powder, and serve.
