Tips on making Hot Chocolate with Stevia:
1) Never leave the saucepan. Milk can easily burn, so keep your eye on it.
2) Stir often.
3) You can use powdered stevia or liquid stevia. Most of the time I use liquid stevia.
4) The taste of your hot chocolate can easily be upgraded by using flavored liquid stevia. Examples are chocolate liquid stevia, hazelnut liquid stevia, cinnamon vanilla liquid stevia, peppermint liquid stevia, caramel liquid stevia, and coconut liquid stevia.
Ingredients for Hot Chocolate with Stevia:
8 ounces milk (regular, coconut, almond, or soy)
2 teaspoons organic cocoa powder
1/8 teaspoon stevia powder or 3-4 drops of liquid stevia

How to make Homemade Whipped Cream with Stevia:
1 pint whipping cream
1/8 teaspoon white stevia powder or 3-4 drops liquid stevia
1) In a large mixing bowl, add the cream and beat with a whisk or an electric hand-held mixer until it begins to thicken.
2) Sprinkle the powder or add drops over the cream and continue beating the cream until soft peaks form. You don’t want to over-beat the cream.
3) Use immediately or it will keep up to four days in the refrigerator if kept in an airtight container. Yields 2 cups.

Sounds good but milk has 12g of sugar so it’s really not sugar free.
You could use unsweetened almond milk though
Trouble with this article is that it uses the term “hot chocolate” when what is really being made is hot COCOA. Check it out. The two beverages are NOT AT ALL identical. Hot chocolate is made with melted chocolate (preferabley dark chocolate). Hot cocoa is made with . . . cocoa powder.
