Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 1 1/4 cup milk powder , (I used whole milk powder, but you can also use nonfat)
  • 1 cup chopped white bar chocolate, you can also use good quality white chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup confectioner's sugar
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate cocoa powder
  • 2 Tbsp vanilla powder , (optional)
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup crushed peppermint

Instructions

  • Add the chopped chocolate to the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until finely ground.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients and process to combine. You can also do this in a large mixing bowl: add the ground chocolate along with the rest of the ingredients and mix to combine.
  • Keep cocoa mix in an airtight container until ready to use. It will keep in the cupboard up to a year.

To Make Peppermint White Hot Chocolate with your mix

  • To make hot chocolate, use 3-4 Tbsp of hot chocolate mix for each cup of milk.
  • Heat slowly in a saucepan, whisking to get everything dissolved. Heat until it gets steamy hot and is smooth and creamy. Enjoy with whipped cream, marshmallows, shaved white chocolate, or crushed peppermint to garnish.
