Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 6 ounces (170.1 g) unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 cup (86 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup (64 g) nonfat dry milk powder
- 5 teaspoons cornstarch
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, finely chopped unsweetened chocolate, cocoa powder, nonfat dry milk powder, cornstarch, and kosher salt until evenly mixed.
- Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract thoroughly to distribute the flavor throughout the dry mix.
- Store the Mix: Transfer the homemade hot chocolate mix into an airtight container or jar to keep it fresh. Store in a cool, dry place.
- Prepare Hot Chocolate: To make hot chocolate, heat 1 cup of milk or water and whisk in 3 tablespoons of the hot chocolate mix until fully dissolved and smooth. Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by reducing or increasing the sugar amount.
- Use whole milk or cream for a richer and creamier hot chocolate.
- For a vegan version, substitute the dry milk powder with a non-dairy alternative.
- The cornstarch helps to thicken the drink, giving it a smooth texture.
- Store the mix in a sealed container for up to 3 months for best flavor.
