ALTON BROWN HOT COCOA MIX (CAN BE DAIRY-FREE)



Alton Brown Hot Cocoa Mix (Can Be Dairy-Free) image

The original recipe can be found at http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/hot-cocoa-recipe.html, I'm posting here for my convenience. For dairy-free hot cocoa, omit powdered milk from the mix; warm your choice of dairy-alternative and gradually add to cocoa mix in mug. (I prefer 3T mix to approx 6oz unsweetened coconut milk, personally).

Time 8m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup cocoa powder (dutched, preferably)
2 1/2 cups powdered milk (omit for dairy-free mix)
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 pinch cayenne (to taste, can omit)

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and incorporate evenly. Seal in airtight container till ready to use.
  • Warm water or dairy-alternative.
  • Alton's directions at the above-mentioned web address state to fill mug half-full with mix and add liquid. I can't do dairy so my experience is without the bulk of the pwd milk. I put 3 T in my mug, add a little of my warmed coconut milk and mix well. Add a bit more coconut milk, mix, and continue until filled and thoroughly incorporated.
  • (Somebody else has posted his homemade marshmallows on food.com if you're so inclined. I haven't tried them yet.).
