Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup powdered milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for anti-caking)
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered sugar, powdered milk, and salt to remove any lumps and ensure an even mixture.
- Add cornstarch: If using, stir in the cornstarch to help prevent clumping and keep the mix free-flowing.
- Combine thoroughly: Whisk all the ingredients together until fully combined and uniformly mixed.
- Store the mix: Transfer the homemade Nesquik powder into an airtight container or jar to keep it fresh and dry.
- Make chocolate milk: To prepare chocolate milk, mix 2 to 3 tablespoons of the Nesquik mix into 1 cup of cold or warm milk and stir until completely dissolved.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of sugar to taste if you prefer a sweeter or less sweet chocolate milk.
- For a dairy-free version, omit the powdered milk and mix the cocoa and sugar directly with your favorite plant-based milk.
- This mix is versatile and works well not only in milk but also in smoothies or as a topping for ice cream.
