s/o of hot cocoa

Is there a recipe that doesn't involve things like Nesquik or other pre-made stuff? How about shredded(?) chocolate to melt?

I can't have the Nesquik stuff (adverse reactions)

Re: s/o of hot cocoa

  • I found this recipe on Allrecipes.  It uses cocoa powder.  Can you have that?

  • I have this one

    3 cups confectioner's sugar
    8 oz. non-fat dry milk
    16 oz. instant chocolate milk (I usually use Nestle's but have used store brand generic as well)
    6 oz of Cremora (or any non-dairy powdered creamer)
    1 box instant chocolate pudding mix (I like devil's food flavor!)

    Mix all ingredients together well and put in jars with instructions: "3 Tbsp mix per 1 cup of hot water." However I usually tell people to use that as a guide and use however much of the mix they want - some like more some like less, it's very rich. Also - some warm up milk in lieu of water and like that more or do half water half milk.

  • What about this one?  It's not a dry recipe, but it sounds good!

  • I don't know if the proportions in this recipe are right, but basically I just make cocoa from cocoa powder, powdered milk and sugar.

  • thanks - i'll have to give those a try

  • I'm a history geek and love the Daughter's of the American Revolution magazine.  They happened to do an article on Baker's Chocolate.

    Baker's Rich 'N' Thick Hot Chocolate (similar to what colonists in the 1700s would have made)

    1 cup water

    2 squares Baker's Unsweetened Baking Chocolate

    1/2 cup sugar

    3 cups milk

    1 tsp vanilla

    Place water and chocolate in a heavy medium saucepan.  Cook on low heat and stir constantly with a wire whisk.  The chocolate should be melted thoroughly with the water.  Next, add the sugar and mix well.

    Over medium-high temperatures bring the combination to a boil.  Stir frequently for three minutes and then gradually pour in the milk.  Whisk it all together and add the vanilla.  Then, reduce the heat to medium.  Cook until blended, while stirring occasionally.

    Makes 4 1 cup servings.

     

  • You could probably add more milk to make it more like the hot chocolate that we drink now, I think that recipe will probably be pretty thick.

    Here's another one.

    Baker's Frozen Hot Chocolate

    4 squares Baker's semi-sweet baking chocolate, melted

    1 1/2 cups milk, divided

    2 tbs sugar

    2 cups of ice cubes

    1 cup frozen whipped topping, unthawed

    1 tsp vanilla

    Place chocolate, 1/2 cup milk and all sugar in a blender.  Cover and turn on high speed until well mixed.

    Add the remaining 1 cup of milk, all of the ice, the frozen topping and the vanilla.  Cover and blend on high speed until smooth.
