Hello Catherine
Sure Amazon does sell it. It’s called “Now Foods Organic Coconut Milk Powder” sells for $15.42
Amazon also sells “Micro Ingredients Organic Coconut Milk Powder 2 pounds for $26.95. I absolutely like the hot chocolate it makes very very much. Instead of using the zero brown sugar. I use 1/4 cup of the real brown sugar, the calories are marginal and it tastes very good.

In reply to Mary. You can try using MCT oil powder in place of the coconut milk powder. That's where the carbs are coming from.

Love this recipe!! How can I lower the amount of carbs it has in it??
I was gonna use less of the sweeteners but they are sugar alcohol so thought that was added differently.
Any help/advice is very appreciated!
Thanks!!

In reply to txgrandma. I agree! Found one that only contains coconut.. Maltodextrin is poison to me.

In reply to Stephanie Thomas. Although I haven't tried it, a similar amount should work.

In reply to Kristina.

If you hover over the number of servings, you can adjust the "13" to "1" and doing that gives these amounts:
0.06 cups (2.88 tsp) coconut milk powder
0.04 cup (1.92 tsp) low carb sugar substitute or powdered sweetener
0.04 cup (1.92 tsp) Lakanto Golden Monk Fruit Granular Sweetener or other low carb brown sugar replacement
0.06 cup (2.88 tsp) cocoa
0.06 teaspoon (roughly a smidgen) salt

Hi, I'd like to use powdered heavy cream instead of the coconut powder. How much should I use?

Hello! What are the amounts needed of each ingredient if I wanted to try a SINGLE cup before mixing everything into a large batch? I've tried recipes like this before that were horrible so I'd like to try a single serving before potentially wasting several cups of powdered sugar/sweeteners. Thanks!

In reply to Lauren. This is a ketogenic diet recipe. The keto diet aims for daily macros of about 5% carbs, 25% protein, and 70% fat. It's been shown that higher fat diets are much healthier than low fat diets.

Six grams saturated fat in one cup. That’s more sat fat than you should have in one day! It’s a liquid heart attack! I was looking for a sugarfree recipe for hot cocoa mix to add to iced coffee. I was excited until I saw the nutrition information. Yuck

In reply to Michelle. I like to use a milk frother to smooth it all out in the cup.

Got the taste right but still seems a bit powdery/grainy even once stirred several times.
