- Stir 2 tablespoons of mix per cup of heated milk.
- Top with dehydrated mini marshmallows, whipping cream, or frothed milk for an extra delicious treat.//TIP// When whipping up a cup of hot chocolate, I like to add the powder first, then a bit of the hot milk and whisk until completely combined, before whisking in the remaining liquid, this prevents floating hot chocolate bombs.
Notes
storage
This hot chocolate mix will keep for longer than it lasts! Keep it in an airtight container, I use mason jars, for up to 6 months.Adapt to your taste:
This recipe as written is silky, smooth, creamy, and slightly bitter. If you prefer a sweeter chocolate flavor, simply add more powdered sugar. Test your batch right while it's in the food processor stage to prevent clean up, then re-mess!
