Rich cocoa powder, a touch of sugar, and a pinch of salt get whisked into a smooth paste before real dark chocolate melts into the mix, giving this mug of hot chocolate its deep, glossy finish. A splash of heavy cream adds body and a silky texture without weighing the drink down, while a hit of vanilla rounds out the flavor at the very end. It's warmed gently on the stovetop, never boiled, so the chocolate stays smooth and the whole thing comes together in just a few minutes. Top your mug with whipped cream or a handful of mini marshmallows if you're in the mood for something extra cozy. This one's an easy, comforting choice to keep on hand for a Low FODMAP kitchen whenever you want a proper hot chocolate fix.

A serving of up to about 2 tablespoons of heavy cream is low in FODMAPs. This recipe contains only about 1/8 cup per serving, making it likely Low FODMAP. If you prefer to always avoid heavy cream, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
Combine the cocoa powder, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan. Add about 2 tbsp of the milk and whisk into a smooth paste with no dry lumps.
Pour in the remaining milk and the heavy cream, then set the saucepan over medium heat. Warm, whisking occasionally, until the mixture is steaming and small bubbles appear around the edges — about 4–5 minutes. Do not let it boil.
