Ingredients
- 1 cup Powdered (confectioners') sugar

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar and unsweetened cocoa powder.
If a smoother texture is desired, add 1 teaspoon of cornstarch to the mixture.
Using a fine-mesh sieve or sifter, sift the combined ingredients into another bowl to break up any clumps and ensure a consistent texture.
Once sifted, thoroughly mix the ingredients with a whisk or spoon to ensure even distribution of the cocoa powder.

Use as a finishing touch for dusting desserts, sweetening beverages, or incorporating into frostings or glazes.
