Instant Dairy-free Hot Cocoa Mix- www.nourishingsimplicity.org

Instant hot cocoa mix is a life saver. What can I say? I love my traditional hot cocoa recipe and all the variations but sometimes you just need a nice mix on hand.

A real foodie using an instant mix? Yup. 🙂 I don’t like using powdered milk because of the negative health benefits but when you use powdered coconut milk that’s a whole other story to save for a post next year. I used to LOVE instant hot cocoa, it was our Friday day night treat in the winter growing up. It came on every camping trip and was a staple on youth group missions trips where I would add two bags to every small styrofoam cups.

Now I can’t stand the stuff. It tastes so weak and fake. 

Let’s say I’ve progressed a bit LOT! I came up with a dairy-free mix last year but you have to add it to milk. (It’s still AMAZING to have on hand I might add…) what I really wanted was a mix that could be added to hot water and you were good to go.

This mix is easy to whip up for a simple gift. Pour the mix in a glass jar, tie a ribbon around it and you have an awesome gift! If you want you can add a fun spoon and a note on how to use it. Personally, I think how strong you like your cocoa is different for each individual so I just hand them a jar and tell them to mix in as much as they want until it tastes right. 😉 I think 2 1/2 teaspoons is perfect but that’s just me…

Note: I use Wilderness Family’s powdered coconut milk. There is a very slight amount of casein in the mix. I have heard of other people finding 100% dairy-free powdered coconut milk on Amazon which is why I labeled the post as such.

    Where do you find dried coconut milk? the closest thing I’ve been able to find is powdered coconut cream at the International store but I don’t want all the junk that comes in it.
