Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup powdered milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 cup of coconut sugar, 1/2 cup of powdered milk (or a dairy-free alternative), and 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder and coconut sugar. Use a whisk to blend them together until they are evenly mixed and there are no lumps.
- Add the powdered milk (or dairy-free alternative) to the cocoa and sugar mixture. Continue to whisk until the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Sprinkle the sea salt into the mixture. The salt will enhance the flavors of the cocoa and sugar, so make sure it is evenly distributed.
- Once all the dry ingredients are combined, transfer the mixture to an airtight container for storage. This hot chocolate mix can be kept in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
- To prepare a serving of hot chocolate, add 2 tablespoons of the mix to a cup of hot water or milk (dairy or non-dairy). Stir well until the mix is fully dissolved.
- For an extra treat, top your hot chocolate with whipped cream, marshmallows, or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
Tips
- Customize Your Sweetness: Feel free to adjust the amount of coconut sugar based on your taste preference. If you like it sweeter, add a bit more!
- Dairy-Free Option: If you’re looking for a dairy-free version, simply use a non-dairy milk powder in place of powdered milk. Almond, oat, or coconut milk powders work beautifully.
- Mix It Up: Experiment with flavors by adding a pinch of cinnamon or a dash of vanilla extract to your hot chocolate mix for a unique twist.
- Storage Matters: Store your hot chocolate mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It can last up to 3 months, making it a convenient treat for any time of the year.
- Serving Suggestions: For an extra special touch, top your hot chocolate with whipped cream, marshmallows, or even a sprinkle of crushed peppermint for a festive flair.
- Perfect Pairings: Serve your hot chocolate with a side of whole-grain cookies or a slice of banana bread for a delightful snack combo.
