A rich and creamy homemade hot chocolate mix made with high-quality bittersweet chocolate, cocoa powder, and powdered milk. Perfect for cozy winter evenings, this easy-to-make mix can be stored for up to two months and customized with vanilla or other flavorings when serving.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Base

  • 6 oz bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate (not chocolate chips)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup dutch process cocoa powder
  • 1 1/4 cup whole milk powder
  • 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions

  1. Chop the chocolate: Using a sharp knife, carefully chop your chocolate into small, even pieces. This will help the food processor work more efficiently and ensure the chocolate blends smoothly into the mix.
  2. Process the mixture: Add the chopped chocolate, cocoa powder, and powdered milk to the food processor. Process until the mixture is smooth and no large chunks of chocolate remain. Then add the granulated sugar and sea salt, and process again for about 20 seconds to fully combine all ingredients.
  3. Store the mix: Transfer the hot chocolate mix into an airtight jar or container. Store it in a cool, dry place for up to two months to maintain freshness and quality.
  4. Prepare hot chocolate: To enjoy, warm milk in a saucepan over medium heat and add a splash of vanilla extract if desired. Whisk in your desired amount of hot chocolate mix until fully dissolved and smooth. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use high-quality bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of hot chocolate mix when preparing according to your taste preference.
  • You can substitute dairy milk powder with non-dairy milk powder for a vegan version.
  • Adding a pinch of cinnamon or chili powder can add an interesting twist.
  • Make sure to store the mix in a sealed container to prevent moisture absorption.
