My son has a milk allergy, so I have spent a good deal of time learning to convert standard recipes into things that won't leave him covered in a rash. I also like to try to use things that I already have in the house. Hopefully someone else will find this helpful.

Time 3m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/2 cups non-dairy coffee creamer
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
5 tablespoons vanilla powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Mix dry ingredients.
  • Store for later use or add 8 cups of boiling water.
  • Serve with marshmallows, cool whip, a candy cane, caramel flavoring, mint extract -- or for the grown-ups, peppermint schnapps.

Tips for Making the Best Hot Chocolate Mix:

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder: The quality of your cocoa powder will significantly impact the taste of your hot chocolate. Look for a cocoa powder that is dark and rich in flavor.
  • Don't skimp on the sugar: Hot chocolate is supposed to be a sweet treat, so don't be afraid to add enough sugar to your mix. You can always adjust the sweetness to your liking once you've tasted it.
  • Add a pinch of salt: Salt helps to balance the sweetness of the hot chocolate and enhances the flavor of the cocoa powder.
  • Use whole milk: Whole milk will make your hot chocolate richer and creamier than skim or low-fat milk.
  • Heat the milk slowly: Heating the milk too quickly can cause it to scorch. Heat it over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it just begins to simmer.
  • Whisk in the hot chocolate mix: Once the milk is hot, whisk in the hot chocolate mix until it is completely dissolved.
  • Top with whipped cream and marshmallows: Whipped cream and marshmallows are the classic toppings for hot chocolate. They add a touch of sweetness and creaminess that takes this drink to the next level.

Conclusion:

Homemade hot chocolate mix is a delicious and easy way to enjoy this classic winter beverage. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a mix that is just as good as, if not better than, the store-bought kind. So next time you're craving a cup of hot chocolate, reach for your homemade mix and enjoy!
