Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1½ cup powdered dairy free milk (such as coconut milk powder or oat milk powder)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3/4 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the powdered dairy-free milk, powdered sugar, Dutch-processed cocoa powder, cornstarch, and sea salt. Using a whisk, mix everything thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined and no clumps remain.
- Store the Mix: Transfer the combined mixture into an airtight container. Store it at room temperature, keeping it fresh and dry for up to 6 months.
- Prepare Hot Chocolate: When ready to enjoy, measure 1/4 cup of the mix into a mug. Pour hot water or your preferred milk alternative over the mix. Stir vigorously with a spoon until fully dissolved. For a frothier texture, use a handheld frother to blend the mix and liquid together.
- Optional Additions: Enhance your hot chocolate by melting some chocolate chips into the drink or topping it with marshmallows as desired. Serve warm and enjoy your cozy dairy-free treat!

- Cornstarch prevents clumping during storage, but if you plan on using the mix within a week, you can omit it.
- Preferred dairy-free milk powders for this recipe include coconut milk powder and oat milk powder for optimal flavor and creaminess.
- Store the hot chocolate mix in a tightly sealed container at room temperature to keep it fresh for up to six months.
