- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder, Splenda, non-fat dry milk powder, cornstarch, and salt.

To prepare a single serving, heat 1 cup of water or milk (for creamier cocoa) in a small saucepan or microwave until steaming but not boiling.
Whisk 2 heaping tablespoons of the cocoa mix into the hot liquid until fully dissolved and frothy.
Taste and adjust sweetness, if desired, by adding an extra sprinkle of Splenda.
Serve immediately and enjoy your sugar-free hot cocoa. Optionally, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra richness.
