How to Make Hot Chocolate Dry Mix

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar, powdered milk, and salt until well combined.
  2. Add the cornstarch (if using) and whisk again to ensure it's evenly distributed.
  3. Store the mixture in an airtight container at room temperature.
  4. To make a single serving of hot chocolate, combine 2 tablespoons of the dry mix with 1 cup of hot milk or water. Stir until smooth and creamy. Add marshmallows, whipped cream, or other toppings as desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
