Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Instant dry milk powder
- 1 cup Freeze-dried raspberries
- 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla powder (optional)
Instructions
Using a food processor, pulse the freeze-dried raspberries until they are finely ground. If there are seeds, sift the raspberry powder through a fine-mesh sieve to remove them, if desired.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered sugar, dry milk powder, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
Gently stir in the raspberry powder and mix until fully incorporated.
If using, add the vanilla powder and thoroughly blend it with the other dry ingredients.
Layer the cocoa mix and mini chocolate chips in a clean, dry jar for gifting, or mix them directly if keeping it for home use.
Seal the jar tightly with the lid to keep the mix fresh.
When ready to serve, mix 2-3 tablespoons of the raspberry cocoa mix with 1 cup of hot milk or water. Stir well and enjoy!
