Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups whole milk powder
  • 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 cup dutch process cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl whisk together all of the ingredients.
  • If desired, you can sift the mixture into another bowl to remove any clumps and make a finer hot chocolate powder. You could also use a food processor to create a fine powder if desired.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • Add 3 tbsp to 8 oz of hot water and enjoy!

Notes

I highly recommend using dutch processed cocoa powder, it has a rich flavor and not as much acidity as unsweetened cocoa powder.
I also recommend trying to find whole milk powder for this recipe. Non-fat milk powder will also work, but it may lose some of the creaminess we love.
