ALTON BROWN'S HOT COCOA MIX (CAN DO DAIRY-FREE)



Alton Brown's Hot Cocoa Mix (Can Do Dairy-Free) image

When I had to give up dairy I sorely missed hot cocoa (I'm not a coffee drinker). Thanks to a friend sharing an Alton Brown post on fb--and comments from others of how well it works to skip the powdered milk--I FINALLY get to easily enjoy hot chocolate without starting WWIII with my body. I personally use 3T mix to approximately 6 oz. coconut milk. Success has been reported with all dairy alternatives (almond, etc); play with quantities to find your perfect fit.

Time 12m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, dutched preferably
2 1/2 cups nonfat dry milk powder (skip if doing dairy-free version)
1 teaspoon salt, fine grain
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 pinch ground cayenne pepper, to taste (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a large airtight container. Secure the lid and shake vigorously to combine, and remember to shake prior to every extraction. (I sift together into a bowl, then store in a one-quart mason jar with a reusable plastic lid).
  • To serve: Place 2 tablespoons of the mix in a mug and add about 2 fluid ounces hot water (if using powdered milk) or milk/dairy alternative. Stir to combine. Fill the mug with more hot water or milk/dairy alternative and enjoy. (I found 3 tablespoons mix to approximately 6 oz hot coconut milk to be my preference).
  • * The Aztecs always added chiles to their chocolate. Even a pinch ups the flavor ante quite a bit, and as called for here certainly won't be sensed as "heat.".
  • No matter - this is fast, easy and will keep for a year if kept in an airtight container in a cool place.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality cocoa powder: Use a cocoa powder that is labeled "unsweetened" and has a high cacao content (at least 70%). This will ensure a rich, chocolatey flavor in your hot cocoa mix.
  • Use a variety of sweeteners: Don't just rely on sugar to sweeten your hot cocoa mix. Try using a combination of sweeteners, such as coconut sugar, maple syrup, or stevia, to create a more complex flavor profile.
  • Add a pinch of salt: Salt can help to enhance the flavor of the chocolate and balance out the sweetness. Just be careful not to add too much, as this can make your hot cocoa mix taste salty.
  • Experiment with different spices: Spices can add a warm and cozy flavor to your hot cocoa mix. Try adding a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger to your recipe. You could also try using a blend of spices, such as pumpkin pie spice or chai spices.
  • Use a variety of milks: You can use any type of milk you like in your hot cocoa mix, including dairy milk, almond milk, coconut milk, or soy milk. Just be sure to choose a milk that has a creamy texture and a mild flavor.

Conclusion:

Making your own dairy-free hot cocoa mix is a great way to enjoy a warm and comforting beverage without having to worry about dairy. This recipe is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So, next time you're craving a cup of hot cocoa, reach for this dairy-free version instead.
