Description

This easy homemade cocoa mix powder recipe is perfect for creating rich, creamy hot chocolate right at home. With simple pantry ingredients like powdered sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and dry milk powder, this mix can be quickly assembled and stored for up to six months. Add optional vanilla powder and mini chocolate chips for extra depth of flavor and indulgence. Just mix with hot water or milk to enjoy a comforting cup of hot cocoa anytime.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups dry milk powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla powder (for extra flavor)
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (for extra richness)

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, dry milk powder, and salt until everything is thoroughly mixed and uniform in color and texture.
  2. Add vanilla powder: If using, stir in the vanilla powder to elevate the flavor profile of your cocoa mix for a subtle aromatic touch.
  3. Fold in chocolate chips: For a richer, more indulgent hot cocoa, gently fold in the mini chocolate chips ensuring an even distribution without melting them.
  4. Store the mix: Transfer the cocoa mix to an airtight container and keep it at room temperature. The mix will stay fresh and ready to use for up to 6 months.
  5. Make hot cocoa: To prepare a cup of hot cocoa, add 3 tablespoons of the cocoa mix to a mug. Pour in 1 cup of hot water or milk, stirring thoroughly until the mix dissolves and the beverage is smooth. Adjust the amount of mix to taste if you prefer a richer or lighter cocoa.
  6. Optional toppings: Enhance your hot cocoa by topping it with whipped cream, marshmallows, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for additional flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • For a creamier hot cocoa, use hot milk instead of hot water.
  • The cocoa mix can be customized by adding spices like cinnamon or chili powder for a unique twist.
  • Vanilla powder and chocolate chips are optional but add extra depth and richness to the drink.
  • Store the mix in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness and prevent clumping.
  • Adjust the amount of cocoa mix per cup depending on your preferred level of chocolate richness.
