Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 1.5 cups Instant dry milk powder
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered sugar, instant dry milk powder, cornstarch, and salt to ensure there are no lumps.
Step 2
Transfer the sifted ingredients to a food processor. Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and pulse until the chocolate chips are finely ground and evenly incorporated with the dry mixture.
Step 3
Store the hot chocolate mix in an airtight container or jar for up to 3 months in a cool, dry place.
Step 4
To make a single serving of hot chocolate, heat 1 cup of milk (or water for a lighter version) in a small saucepan over medium heat until steaming but not boiling.
Step 5
Add 2-3 tablespoons of the hot chocolate mix to the warmed milk, whisking continuously until the mixture is fully dissolved and smooth.
Step 6
Bring the heat to low and let the hot chocolate simmer for 1-2 minutes to thicken slightly.
Step 7
Pour into a mug, top with whipped cream, marshmallows, or a sprinkle of extra cocoa powder (optional), and serve hot.
