While you can use regular white chocolate, it will not be keto-friendly due to the sugar content. If you're following a keto diet, it's best to stick with sugar-free options to keep the carbs low.

What can I substitute for macadamia nut milk?

You can substitute unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, or any other unsweetened nut milk you prefer. Just be sure to choose a variety that fits your dietary needs.

How should I store leftover keto white hot chocolate?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm it gently on the stove or in the microwave until hot.

Yes! You can use a dairy-free heavy cream alternative and ensure your sugar-free white chocolate chips are also dairy-free. There are several brands available that cater to dairy-free diets.

Is this recipe suitable for people with nut allergies?

Since this recipe uses macadamia nut milk, it's not suitable for those with nut allergies. You can replace the nut milk with a variety like oat milk or rice milk, which are typically safe for nut allergies.
