There’s something about a snowy day that makes you crave a warm, comforting drink. I was feeling the chill after yet another snowstorm, and while I love a classic hot chocolate, I wanted to try something a little different. Recently, I’ve been seeing bone broth hot chocolate popping up all over the internet, and I was intrigued. I’ll admit, I was a bit skeptical at first. Bone broth in hot chocolate? But I’m always up for trying something new, so I decided to give it a go.

To my surprise, this Bone Broth Hot Chocolate turned out to be delicious! It’s a creamy, rich hot chocolate with a subtle umami flavor that adds a unique twist. If you’re looking for a cozy drink that’s also packed with nutrients, this might just become your new favorite!

What You’ll Need for a Rich and Creamy Mug

Here’s what you’ll need to make 4 servings of this surprising and delightful drink:

  • 1 can of coconut milk (or your preferred milk) – This adds a rich and creamy base to the hot chocolate.
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips – I used Keto HU kitchen chocolate chips for a low-sugar option.
  • 1/4 cup cacao powder – For a deep chocolate flavor, I went with Navitas Organics cacao powder.
  • 3 tablespoons sweetener of choice – I prefer powdered monk fruit, but you can use any sweetener you like.
  • 17 oz bone broth – Yes, bone broth! I used Kettle & Fire, which adds a subtle savory note.
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract – Enhances the overall flavor of the hot chocolate.
  • A pinch of salt – Just a small amount to balance out the sweetness.

How to Make Your Bone Broth Hot Chocolate

Follow these simple steps to create a nutritious and comforting drink that’s perfect for a cold day:

  1. Heat the Milk: Open your can of coconut milk and pour it into a saucepan. Warm it over low-medium heat, ensuring it doesn’t come to a boil.
  2. Add Chocolate Goodness: Stir in 1/3 cup of chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of cacao powder. Keep stirring until everything is fully melted and smooth.
  3. Sweeten It Up: Add 3 tablespoons of your chosen sweetener. Since I used powdered monk fruit, it dissolved nicely and added just the right amount of sweetness.
  4. Pour in the Bone Broth: Slowly add the 17 oz of bone broth and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. This is where the magic happens! The bone broth adds a unique depth of flavor without overpowering the chocolate.
  5. Whisk and Warm: Continuously whisk the mixture over low-medium heat to ensure everything is well combined. Just before serving, add a pinch of salt to enhance all the flavors.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Pour the hot chocolate into mugs and enjoy this warm, comforting drink. It’s perfect for sipping by the fireplace or after a day in the snow.

Tips for the Perfect Bone Broth Hot Chocolate

  • Adjust to Taste: If you find the bone broth flavor too strong, try using less and adding more milk. Conversely, if you want a more pronounced savory note, increase the bone broth slightly.
  • Experiment with Sweeteners: Depending on your dietary preferences, feel free to experiment with different sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or stevia.
  • Extra Creamy Option: For an even richer texture, use full-fat coconut milk or add a dollop of whipped cream on top.

Why Bone Broth in Hot Chocolate?

I know, it sounds unusual, but there are actually some great reasons to add bone broth to your hot chocolate:

  • Nutrient Boost: Bone broth is rich in collagen, amino acids, and minerals, which can support joint health and digestion.
  • Unique Flavor: The umami taste from the bone broth adds a depth of flavor that complements the sweetness of the chocolate.
