Servings: 4 cups
Calories: 390kcal
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup semi chocolate chips Use bittersweet chips for less sugar
- 1 1/4 cup milk powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth and no chunks of chocolate chips remain. Pour into an air tight container and store for up to 3 months.
To make Homemade Hot Chocolate
- Add 1/2 cup packed hot cocoa mix to 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until dissolved or use an immersion blender to mix.
Notes
- I like to use bittersweet chocolate chips with 85% cacao. If you can't find bitter chocolate chips, a chocolate bar will work too. Chop it up in smaller pieces prior to blending it in the blender.
- You can substitute milk powder for a non dairy option. We often use coconut milk powder instead and it works perfectly.
- If you don't have milk powder at all, you can make this without it and mix it into regular liquid milk. Each serving would use 1/4 cup of mix and 1 cup of liquid milk.
- An immersion blender ensures there are no clumps and makes the hot cocoa really frothy. I highly recommend it!
