Dark Cocoa Mix

Dark Cocoa Mix. Because sometimes while you enjoy the childlike wonder of winter, you just want your hot chocolate to be a little more grown-up.

Dark Cocoa Mix

  • 3/4 cups dark cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup nondairy creamer
  • 3/4 cup powdered milk
  • 1 pound powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Place mix ingredients in a medium bowl. Stir well. Although not needed, it is a good idea to put mix through a sifter to remove lumps.

To use, place 1/2 cup of cocoa mix in a large cup. Add 1 1/2 to 2 cups of boiling hot water (to your liking). Stir until dissolved.

My favorite way to heat water is now my electric teapot.

My favorite way to enjoy hot chocolate is with homemade flavored whoop cream on top… or maybe with a few high-quality chocolate pieces stirred in. Move over, marshmallows.
