Method
To Make Hot Cocoa Mix
- 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 a Cup of 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.
- Once the hot cocoa is hot, pour into a mug.
- Top with 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. They should be a 1:1 ratio.
- I have also made whipped cream using my handheld mixer. It takes a little longer but will work just as fine as a stand up mixer.
