  3. What if you dont have heavy cream

    • LowCarbingAsian

      Hi – Unfortunately, I don’t think there is a suitable replacement for heavy cream, so you will have to pick some up to make this recipe.

  4. How do you figure 7 carbs with 3 TBSP monk fruit sweetener?

    • LowCarbingAsian

      Hi Elizabeth – the carbs are from the heavy cream and cocoa powder, not the monkfruit. Hope that clears that up.

  5. Can I use the Lakanto drinking chocolate for the cocoa powder?

    • LowCarbingAsian

      Hello! I’ve never used that particular product, so can’t be for sure, but I would think you can sub it. Just make sure to lessen/eliminate the amount of monkfruit blend the recipe calls for since that product already has sweetener mixed in.
