Healthy Homemade Hot Chocolate

Wendy Walker
This recipe is so creamy and I use only real ingredients. Do not feel guilty one bit because it's good for you! Ok, so in moderation, anything is good for you, right?  For added goodness, I also top it with my homemade whipped cream and I shave a little bit of chocolate on top.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 1 people

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/4 cups Organic Cocoa
  • 2 1/2 cups Coconut Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Pink "Real" Salt

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients above, stir and store in a quart size mason jar. This mix will yield about 50 cups of hot chocolate and will take you right through winter.

To Make The Hot Chocolate:

  • For individual servings, pour 1 cup of Organic/Raw Milk into a saucepan.
  • Add 2 TBS of the Hot Chocolate Mix and 1-2 tsp of homemade vanilla to the pan.
  • Whisk together over medium heat, until dissolved. Be careful not to let the milk boil.
  • Top with my homemade whipped cream (see recipe below) and chocolate shavings.
  • To make multiple cups, just multiply the individual serving by how many cups you need to make.

Homemade Whipped Cream

    Ingredients:

    • 1 Pint of Organic/Raw Heavy Cream
    • 1-2 tbsp of Coconut Sugar
    • 1-2 tsp of Homemade Vanilla

    Directions:

    • Pour the entire carton of cream in a bowl along with the sugar and vanilla.
    • Beat on low for a few minutes and then increase the speed.
    • It may look like it's taking forever to get that "whipped" look, but it's coming. Keep mixing until you see wonderful light peaks.
    • Note:
      Oh, and make sure you use the wire whisk attachment if you are using a standup mixer like Kitchenaid.
    • This is the creamiest and most healthy whipped cream I've ever had. You will never go back to store brands once you make this. I promise and your family will  love it!

    Notes

    • You can certainly use other sweeteners but I can't give my opinion on them as I have only used coconut sugar. 
    • I have also made whipped cream using my handheld mixer.
