Instructions

Hot chocolate Mix

Combine all ingredients: Combine 2 1/2 cups whole milk powder, 2 cups powdered sugar, 1 1/4 cups cocoa powder, 4 ounces chopped white chocolate, 1 teaspoon cornstarch and 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt in a large food processor or blender. Pulse until well combined.

For serving

Combine with hot water or milk: Add 1/3 cup of the hot chocolate mix to 1 cup of hot water or milk in a mug. Stir to combine. Add whipped cream or marshmallows if desired to serve.

Notes

Chocolate: I prefer to use a Ghirardelli white chocolate bar, which makes it super creamy. You could substitute 1 cup white chocolate chips if needed.

Cocoa powder: You could also do a mix of Dutch cocoa and unsweetned. Use whichever brand you prefer.

Storage: Store in a sealed jar or container for 1 month. You can also freeze up to 3 months.
