Warm up your chilly evenings with this indulgent and fruity Raspberry Cocoa Mix T R L, a luxuriously rich hot cocoa blend that brings together the tangy sweetness of freeze-dried raspberries and the deep, decadent flavor of dark chocolate. This quick and easy recipe combines pantry staples like unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt, elevated by the addition of finely processed raspberry powder and velvety dark chocolate chips. Perfect for gifting or keeping on hand for cozy nights, this mix can be stored for up to three months in an airtight container. Simply stir it into a steaming cup of whole milk (or your favorite milk alternative), and top it off with whipped cream or a sprinkle of extra cocoa powder for a cafΓ©-worthy treat at home. Great for chocolate lovers, this raspberry-infused twist on classic hot cocoa is a must-try dessert drink thatβs both comforting and bold.
In a food processor, pulse the freeze-dried raspberries until they become a fine powder. Pass the powdered raspberries through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. Set the smooth raspberry powder aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and raspberry powder. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
Add the dark chocolate chips and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Stir to distribute the chocolate chips evenly.
Transfer the cocoa mix to an airtight container for storage. It can be kept at room temperature for up to 3 months.
To prepare a serving, heat 1 cup of whole milk (or your preferred milk alternative) in a small saucepan over medium heat until steaming but not boiling.
Add 2 tablespoons of the Raspberry Cocoa Mix to a mug, then pour the hot milk over it. Stir until the mixture is completely dissolved and smooth.
For an extra treat, top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or fresh raspberries. Serve immediately and enjoy!
