Ingredients

Scale

Dry Mix Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional for smoother texture)
  • 1 tablespoon dry milk powder (optional for creaminess)


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, salt, cornstarch, and dry milk powder (if using) until evenly combined and free of lumps.
  2. Store the Mix: Transfer the mixture to an airtight jar or container and store in a cool, dry place.
  3. Prepare Chocolate Milk: To make chocolate milk, stir 2 tablespoons of the homemade Nesquik mix into 1 cup of cold or warm milk and whisk or shake until fully dissolved.
  4. Adjust to Taste: Adjust the amount of mix to taste for a richer or lighter chocolate flavor as preferred.

Notes

  • For a deeper chocolate flavor, use Dutch-processed cocoa powder.
  • To make a healthier version, reduce the powdered sugar by half and add a few drops of pure vanilla extract when mixing into milk.
  • This mix keeps well for up to 6 months in an airtight container.
