Quadruple Hot Chocolate

2 tsp unsweetened cocoa (I use Droste brand: 0.667 g net carb, 10 cal)
1 tbsp chocolate DaVinci syrup (0 carb, 0 cal)
2 tbsp Hood Carb Countdown chocolate milk (0.375 g carb, 12.5 cal)
8 oz hot water
one 2-tbsp squirt chocolate Reddi-Whip (1 g carb, 15 cal)

While the water is boiling, put the cocoa, chocolate davinci syrup, and
chocolate milk in a 12-oz mug; stir until completely mixed and syrupy. Add
8 ounces boiling or almost-boiling water; stir. Taste. If not sweet
enough, add more davinci. Squirt in chocolate reddi-whip.

Delicious. I think it's the best hot chocolate I've ever had, low carb or
otherwise. Just over 2 g carbs, and less than 40 calories.

Yum! How I wish I didn't have to buy a half gallon of that milk
at a time, since I can only have chocolate once a week at the
most. (I tried having my daughter drink it, but she immediately
detected it, alas.)

I wonder how it would freeze? I end up throwing at least half the
container away, which I hate. Once I clear up some space in the
freezer, I'm going to try this. Unless someone else tries it first
and reports on it (hint, hint).

I may inadvertently be trying it with part of a container of
homogenized "milk", which is on the porch.... (I was going to
throw it old, because it was old, and then someone said they had
kept it for weeks. By that time, I had no room for it in the
fridge, because I had gotten a new half gallon.)

I hadn't bought the chocolate Carb Countdown until this weekend, mainly
because I didn't think I'd be able to use a whole carton of it. But I'd
been making "Triple Chocolate" hot chocolate (same ingredients as in the
previous post, but with the regular white Carb Countdown instead of
chocolate), and it was so good that I wanted to see how "Quadruple
Chocolate" would taste.

I talked myself into buying the chocolate milk by finding another use for
it besides cocoa -- I'm having it for breakfast with the Hi-Lo cereal that
I've been trying to finish off. (It's actually not bad this way! Although
it does make me feel a bit like a nine-year-old.)

I'd do that, but I get migraines if I consume chocolate more than
once a week, maximum, and sometimes need much longer in between.
(And I'm a chocoholic.)
