Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1.5 cups Powdered milk
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Cinnamon (optional, for cinnamon hot chocolate)
- 0.5 teaspoons Peppermint extract (optional, for peppermint hot chocolate)
- 2 tablespoons Caramel sauce (optional, for salted caramel hot chocolate)
- 1 cup per serving Hot water or milk
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine cocoa powder, powdered sugar, powdered milk, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk thoroughly to ensure the ingredients are evenly mixed.
Optional: If you want to create a flavored version of the hot chocolate mix, whisk in the cinnamon (for cinnamon hot chocolate) or leave the mix as is and add flavoring per serving later.
Transfer the hot chocolate mix to an airtight container for storage. It will keep for up to 3 months in a cool, dry place.
To prepare a cup of hot chocolate, scoop 3 heaping tablespoons (about 1/4 cup) of the mix into a mug.
Heat 1 cup of water or milk to just below boiling and pour it over the mix in the mug. Stir well until fully dissolved and creamy.
For flavored hot chocolate options, stir in peppermint extract for peppermint hot chocolate or caramel sauce and a pinch of sea salt for salted caramel hot chocolate just before serving.
Garnish with whipped cream, marshmallows, or a sprinkle of extra cocoa powder, if desired. Enjoy!
