Steamed milk, real cocoa powder, a spoon of cream for body — and 40 mg of pure sucralose whisked in off the heat. Cocoa powder is naturally unsweetened, so the entire sweetness of a normal hot chocolate is just sugar; replacing it is a two-scoop job.

Sucralose Dose

4 × 10 mg scoops (40 mg total)

≈ 2 tbsp of sugar

SCOOP MATH: 1 × 10 MG SCOOP ≈ 1.5 TSP SUGAR // 1 × 100 MG SCOOP ≈ 5 TBSP SUGAR // 333 MG ≈ 1 CUP.

Ingredients — 1 servings

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
2 tbsp heavy cream
1 1/2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
4 × 10 mg scoops pure sucralose (40 mg)
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 pinch fine salt

Method — 4 steps

Heat the almond milk and cream in a small saucepan until steaming — wisps of steam, not a boil.
Take the pan off the heat. Whisk in the cocoa powder and salt until completely smooth.
Whisk in the sucralose and vanilla — it dissolves on contact.
Pour into a mug and serve. Unsweetened whipped cream on top if you're feeling it.

Heat Check

Sweetened after heating by design: the milk comes off the stove (steaming ≈ 70–80 °C, well under sucralose's ~120 °C limit) before anything sweet goes in.

Tips

Whisk the cocoa into a paste with a splash of the hot milk first if you want it silk-smooth.
Darker mood: 2 tbsp cocoa + one extra 10 mg scoop keeps the balance.
Make it a mocha: swap 1/4 cup of the milk for a shot of espresso.
