The Best From Scratch Hot Chocolate Mix {dairy free option}
This hot chocolate mix is easy to make and tastes even better than the store-bought packets, without any questionable ingredients. Need to make it dairy-free? There is an option for that as well!
Ingredients
- 3 cups whole milk powder
- 1 bar of white baking chocolate quality matters here!
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 cups Dutch-processed or alkalized cocoa powder
- 1 tsp. salt
- 3 tsp. cornstarch optional, but helps make it creamy
- a food processor or blender
- an airtight container for storage
- a large mixing bowl
Instructions
- In a large bowl mix together the milk powder, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and cornstarch.
- Put half of the mixture into a food processor or blender (or less if your food processor is small).
- Chop up a whole bar of white baking chocolate and add it to the food processor.
- Pulse until mixed thoroughly.
- Add the mixture back to the bowl. Mix well.
- Store in an airtight jar.
- To serve: Add 1/4 cup of the mix to 8 oz. of hot milk (yes, milk makes it much better than water!)
Notes
Dairy-free option - To make this without any dairy, substitute coconut milk powder for the powdered milk. Then, ensure that your white baking chocolate doesn't contain dairy. When serving, mix into your favorite dairy-free milk (we like almond milk, but coconut or simply water works too.)
