The mix can be stored for up to two months and customized with your favorite non-dairy milk and toppings like vegan marshmallows or cinnamon sticks.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Dry Mix

  • 1 cup (85 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup (70 g) coconut or cane sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional add-ins: 1 vanilla bean, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla powder and/or cinnamon, 1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

To Prepare One Serving of Hot Cocoa

  • 2-3 tablespoons dry hot cocoa mix (from above)
  • 1 cup creamy non-dairy milk (such as almond, oat, soy, or coconut milk)
  • Optional toppings: vegan marshmallows, vegan whipped cream, or a cinnamon stick

Instructions

  1. Make the Dry Mix: Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and any optional spices or flavorings into a high-speed blender. Process on high for about 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. Transfer the dry mix into a sealable glass jar for storage.
  2. Store the Mix: Keep the dry hot chocolate mix sealed at room temperature for up to two months to maintain freshness and flavor.
  3. Prepare One Serving of Hot Cocoa: Scoop 2 to 3 tablespoons of the dry mix into the bottom of a mug, adjusting the amount to your preferred cocoa richness. Warm 1 cup of non-dairy milk on the stovetop or microwave until hot but not boiling.
  4. Combine and Stir: Pour the hot non-dairy milk over the cocoa mix in the mug. Stir thoroughly with a spoon or a handheld milk frother until the mixture is completely dissolved and frothy.
  5. Serve with Toppings: Add optional toppings such as vegan marshmallows, plant-based whipped cream, or a cinnamon stick for extra flavor and presentation. Enjoy warm.

Notes

  • For best results, use a high-speed blender to ensure the dry mix is finely combined and fluffy.
  • Adjust the sweetness and spice levels by varying the amount of sugar and optional spices like cinnamon or cayenne pepper.
  • Non-dairy milk options such as oat, almond, or soy milk work best for creaminess.
  • Store the dry mix in an airtight container to prevent moisture and extend shelf life.
  • Serve immediately after mixing for the best taste and texture.
