Pour the coconut milk into a microwave-safe bowl.
Add the sweetener and the cocoa powder. Whisk well.
Sprinkle in the glucomannan powder gradually while whisking all the time. Whisk well to prevent lumps.

Nutritional values highly depend on the type and brand of the dairy-free milk. Try to get one with as little carbs and as little food additives as you can get.

Glucomannan powder is a naturally occurring nutritional fibre that comes from the konjac plant. For years, it has been used as a thickener and emulsifier with countless cooking applications.
