How to Make Light Cafe Mocha Mix

  1. Combine 1/2 cup instant coffee granules (regular or decaf) and 1/2 cup powdered skim milk in a food processor. Blend on high speed until the mixture is a fine powder.
  2. The volume should reduce to approximately 1 cup. If it's not quite there after processing, let it rest for a few minutes, then gently stir and check.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the coffee/milk powder with 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 cup erythritol (or your preferred sugar substitute), 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Stir or blend with a hand mixer on low speed until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture is smooth.
  5. To serve, add 4 teaspoons of the mocha mix to 6 ounces of hot water. Stir until dissolved. Add more mix or water to adjust to your desired sweetness and strength.
