Hot Cocoa (Under 100 calories!)

I was experimenting in the kitchen with almond milk, which to me tastes like cardboard and almonds, and I was wondering what could be done to cover up the terrible taste. The almond milk does have a really nice, silky, creamy texture though, so I thought I'd make hot chocolate. It was amazing. Super thick, creamy, chocolate-y, steamy, and frothy on top.

Hot Cocoa

1 c. unsweetened vanilla almond milk
2 Tbs. Hershey's sugar free chocolate syrup
1 Tbs. Sugar free vanilla or caramel beverage syrup
1 Tbs. heavy whipping cream

Mix first three ingredients in a microwave-safe mug and microwave for 1-2 minutes. Stir well. Stir in cream and enjoy. You could dress this up even more with some sugar free whipped cream on top, and maybe a sprinkle of cocoa or instant coffee for show.

For a more decadent version, up the chocolate to 3 Tbsp, and add another Tbsp of whipping cream
