Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Coconut milk powder (or other dairy-free milk powder)
- 0.75 cup Coconut sugar (or granulated sugar of choice)
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla powder (optional, for extra flavor)
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, coconut milk powder, and coconut sugar. Sifting helps remove any lumps and ensures a smooth, even mixture.
Step 2
Add the cornstarch, salt, and vanilla powder (if using) to the bowl. Stir well to combine all the dry ingredients evenly.
Step 3
Transfer the mixture to an airtight container or jar for storage. Label the jar with instructions for making hot cocoa.
Step 4
To prepare a single serving of hot cocoa, heat 1 cup of your favorite dairy-free milk (such as almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk) in a small saucepan over medium heat until steaming.
Step 5
Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the hot cocoa mix to the warm milk, whisking constantly until fully dissolved and smooth. Adjust sweetness to taste, if needed.
Step 6
Pour the hot cocoa into a mug and serve immediately. Optionally, top with vegan marshmallows or a dollop of coconut whipped cream for extra indulgence.
