Homemade Dry Hot Chocolate Mix Recipe
Ingredients
Making homemade dry hot chocolate mix is quite simple and requires few ingredients. To make a basic dry hot cocoa mix you will need:
- 1 1/2 cups of non-fat dry milk powder
- 2/3 cup of cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup of white sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
You can also add more flavor to your hot chocolate mix by adding any of the following ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger
- 1/3 cup of mini marshmallows or chocolate chips
Instructions
Making homemade dry hot chocolate mix is very easy. First, combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix together until everything is evenly distributed. If you are adding any of the extra flavorings, add them now and mix them in with the other ingredients.
Once everything is combined, transfer the dry hot chocolate mix to an airtight container. To use the mix, add 3 tablespoons of the dry mix to 8 ounces of hot water and stir until everything is dissolved. If you are adding marshmallows or chocolate chips, stir them in after the mix is dissolved.
For an extra special treat, top your hot chocolate with whipped cream or marshmallow cream. You can also add a touch of flavor by adding a dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, or even a splash of flavored syrup. Enjoy!
Nutrition
Homemade dry hot chocolate mix is much healthier than store-bought mixes. A single serving (3 tablespoons) of the basic recipe has approximately 150 calories, 6 grams of fat, 21 grams of carbohydrates, and 5 grams of protein. If you add any of the extra flavorings, the nutrition facts will vary slightly.
This recipe is also lower in sugar than many store-bought mixes. If you would like to reduce the sugar content even further, use a sugar substitute such as stevia or Splenda in place of the white sugar. This will not affect the flavor or texture of the hot chocolate.
In addition to being lower in sugar, homemade dry hot chocolate mix is also free of preservatives, artificial flavors, and other additives. This makes it a much healthier option than store-bought mixes.
Making your own dry hot chocolate mix is a great way to control what goes into your hot chocolate. You can customize it to your liking by adding extra flavorings or reducing the sugar content. Plus, it’s a much healthier option than store-bought mixes.
You can store your homemade dry hot cocoa mix in an airtight container for up to 3 months. To use the mix, simply add 3 tablespoons of the mix to 8 ounces of hot water and stir until everything is dissolved. Enjoy!
