In case you haven’t noticed, I’m a sucker for treat beverages. Hot beverages, cold beverages, adult beverages – if you want to win me over, share a drink with me. :)
I have a twist on traditional cocoa today after seeing a white chocolate pudding mix. On a whim, I wondered if I could use it to make a hot drink mix – and it’s both simple and delicious!
White Hot Cocoa Recipe:
- 1 c. nonfat dry milk
- 1 – 3.3 oz. package white chocolate pudding mix
- 1 c. (4 oz.) grated or ground white chocolate
You can use either white chocolate chips or baking chocolate for this recipe. To grind it up to dissolve easily, I ran white chocolate baking squares through my coffee mill. (Just take care that your motor doesn’t start to get warm – otherwise you could end up with a melty mess. Mine only started to get warm at the end, but that could have been quite a hassle to clean up if it had gotten any warmer.)
Stir your ingredients together and store in an airtight jar until ready to use. Mix 2-3 tsp. for each 1 c. hot water. For a normal-sized mug, that will be about 2 Tbsp. of mix. Stir well to be sure the chocolate melts. Then enjoy! You can optionally garnish it with a candy cane or peppermint stick.
As with nearly every mix, this packages up to gift nicely – just be sure to include instructions!
What are your favorite cold-weather beverages?
When I 1st made this I liked the consistency but the flavor was lacking. I realized that I had only use 4 oz of white chocolate listed on the ingredient list instead of 1 cup (also listed but is actually 8oz). It helped but I didn’t think it was sweet enough so I also added 1/4 Cup powder sugar. It’s perfect flavor wise. I think next time I’ll swap out the nonfat milk for regular powder milk for a creamier consistency.
i have made it an i love it i fix it for a friend an i got a taste of it now fix me a batch the hospital wanting me to fix it for up there
My lil sister was wanting some white chocolate cocoa… couldn’t find it in the stores so I looked hoping to find a recipe and this came up. I made a batch and now I need to go back to the store and get more ingredients so I can make myself my own batch :)
After drinking half of my cup, i decided to add a little bit of peppermint Torani syrup. SOOO DELICIOUS, With or without the syrup, it’s awesome.
