Has anyone tried the recipe or have a good recipe for hot chocolate?

Hot chocolate:
2/3 cup water
1/3 cup heavy cream
2 packets splenda
1 tbsp coco
1/8 tsp vanilla

2 net carbs

Looks legal (and tasty ) to me!

Just be careful of the limits on heavy cream which are 2-3 tablespoons a day plus an occasional extra amount of up to 3 ounces if you are having nothing else from the 'Special Category' list.

Also cream does have 'some' carbs (according to fitday 1/3 cup of heavy cream = 2 net carbs) as does cocoa powder (1T = 1 net carb) so with the 2 carbs from the splenda I calculate that your recipe works out as 5 net carbs

We (ErinLea is my beautiful wife) made this last night and it was OK, but not great. I had a Jalapeno Popper before a sip, and it actually made a very interesting combination. I know Mexican cocoas are made with chillies to add some spice so I may try some experimenting with this.

I was also wondering how to make home made legal whipped topping, or if there was a store bought alternative out there as that would make a nice topping.

Thanks.

Legal whipped topping for Atkins is heavy cream that is whipped to soft or stiff peaks.
