Description

This Homemade Cocoa Mix Powder is a quick and easy blend of powdered sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and dry milk powder, perfectly balanced with a hint of salt and optional vanilla powder and mini chocolate chips for extra flavor and richness. Ideal for making a comforting cup of hot cocoa anytime, this mix can be stored for up to 6 months and customized to your taste preferences.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups dry milk powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla powder (optional)

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, dry milk powder, and salt until fully integrated and smooth.
  2. Add Vanilla Powder: If using, mix in the vanilla powder thoroughly to enhance the flavor profile of the cocoa mix.
  3. Fold in Chocolate Chips: For a richer, indulgent experience, gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the mix.
  4. Store Mix: Transfer the cocoa mix into an airtight container and store at room temperature. The mix will remain fresh and flavorful for up to six months.
  5. Prepare Hot Cocoa: To make a cup, scoop 3 tablespoons of the cocoa mix into a mug. Pour 1 cup of hot water or milk over it and stir well until completely dissolved and smooth. Adjust the cocoa mix amount to suit your desired richness.
  6. Optional Garnishes: Enhance your hot cocoa with toppings like whipped cream, marshmallows, or a sprinkle of cinnamon to add extra flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use dry milk powder for a creamy texture without needing fresh milk.
  • Vanilla powder is optional but adds a nice depth of flavor.
  • Mini chocolate chips add richness but can be omitted for a smoother mix.
  • Store in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness up to six months.
  • For dairy-free versions, substitute dry milk powder with a plant-based milk powder.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of powdered sugar to taste.
