how it all began
I’ve always had an undeniable sweet tooth. From the very first taste to every bite and sip since, chocolate has elicited a constant feeling of joy. But everything changed when I faced a serious and unexpected illness that left me with only a handful of ‘safe’ foods. Among them? Coconut milk and 100% cacao. Craving something indulgent without triggering a flare-up, I started making hot chocolate at home using just those two ingredients—no sugar, just pure, rich n bitter depth.
As my body healed and my diet expanded, so did my curiosity in the kitchen. Determined to create a nourishing drink without sacrificing flavor, I started experimenting—adjusting cacao percentages, exploring different bases (even bone broth!), playing with iced variations, and incorporating spices and natural extracts. With each cup, I refined the recipe, striving for the perfect balance - thick, yet silky; sweet but not that sweet.
The result? Not That Sweet—a hot chocolate experience designed for those searching for something both delicious and healthy. Made fresh every time, fully customizable, and anything but your ordinary hot cocoa. Whether you crave the bold intensity of dark chocolate like me or prefer something a little more mellow, Not That Sweet is crafted with you in mind, every step of the way.
