Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1½ teaspoons cornstarch (optional, for anti-caking)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered sugar, cornstarch (if using), and salt. This ensures there are no lumps and the ingredients are mixed evenly.
- Mix Thoroughly: Whisk the sifted ingredients until they are fully combined and smooth, creating a uniform chocolate powder blend.
- Store the Mix: Transfer the homemade Nesquik powder to an airtight container or jar. Store it in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness and prevent clumping.
- Prepare Chocolate Milk: To make chocolate milk, stir 2 tablespoons of the homemade Nesquik into 1 cup of cold or warm milk. Mix well until the powder is completely dissolved. Adjust sweetness by adding more powder if desired.
Notes
- For an even smoother mix, pulse the dry ingredients in a food processor before storing.
- This mix works well with both dairy and non-dairy milk alternatives.
- Stored properly in an airtight container, the mix stays fresh for several months.
- You can stir the powder into warm milk to create a comforting hot chocolate drink.
