Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Powdered erythritol (or preferred sugar-free sweetener)
- 1 cup Powdered milk (non-dairy or dairy)
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered erythritol, powdered milk, cornstarch (if using), and salt.
Whisk the ingredients together thoroughly to ensure even distribution and to break down any lumps.
Transfer the mix into an airtight container or a resealable jar for storage. This mix can be kept in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
To prepare a cup of hot cocoa, heat 1 cup of milk or non-dairy alternative in a small saucepan or microwave until hot but not boiling.
Stir in 2 to 3 tablespoons of the sugar-free cocoa mix, depending on your preferred level of richness.
Whisk or stir until the mix is fully dissolved and the cocoa is creamy and well-combined.
Pour into a mug, garnish with whipped cream or sugar-free marshmallows if desired, and enjoy!
