Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using almond milk instead of skim milk. If you prefer a more decadent texture, try folding in some finely chopped dark chocolate or using a full-fat whipped topping. To enhance the sweetness, consider adjusting the amount of artificial sweetener based on your taste preference. This pie can also be made with regular hot chocolate mix for a non-diet version.
