Is the coconut flour necessary? It was very grainy and didn’t dissolve. And is the amount of erythritol correct? It seems like a lot for only 2 servings. I used 1/4 cup and it was plenty sweet.

The coconut flour helps to thicken the mix. You can omit it if you're having trouble getting it to dissolve. You can also adjust the sweetener as needed.

What about chocolate tea (Cocao husks steeped in water) ?
I find it's gives a good mouth feel and I'm thinking of replacing the water with the tea.I'm not sure how this might affect the carb count though... how might I work this out?

I wonder if adding some Xanthan Gum and omitting the coconut flour would be better. As someone mentioned, coconut flour can be like adding sand.

A small amount of xanthan gum or glucomannan might work well!
