There is a recipe for hot cocoa on the package of Hershey's Cocoa.  I tried to copy and paste the recipe but could not get it to work.

If you do a search for the recipe it is easy to find.  Sorry I cannot get it to post.

I have tried 2 different recipies:

Option 1-

*2 cups dairy free milk of choice (I found 1 part almond milk 1 part coconut milk to make a nice consistency).

*6 Tbsp Dutch cocoa OR 4-5Tbsp regular cocoa powder

*pinch sea salt

*1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Add all ingredients (except vanilla) and whisk until warm. Add vanilla and whisk until combined.

Option 2- (this is for a mix), it's "free" of everything but sugar

*1 cup sugar

*1/2 cup cocoa powder

* vanilla bean (cut in 1/2 and scrape seeds)

Put all ingredients in blender or food processor to incorporate well. You just don't want lumps!

Add to jar and wait to enjoy! To serve, add 1-1.5/Tbsp powder mix per cup of milk (any dairy free milk of choice will work, it's a personal/dietary preference). Whisk until warm and combined.

**** For both of these, I served with Dandy brand vegetarian marshmallows, so delicious coco whip (dairy free cool whip).

Personally, I preferred a little peppermint extract I'm either of them, but I know not everyone likes a mint/chocolate combination. And my ultimate favorite is adding chocolate cherry Baileys!

@Mellyg is your option 2 missing a word, 1/2 cup ?

Thank you, @mizree . I appreciate you noticing that, especially since it was the chocolate! And I just gave someone a speech today about "proofreading their work".

Hot Chocolate for 2

I use Guittard Wafers plus unsweetened almond milk or you could use milk.

2 cups unsweetened almond milk

1/2 cup Guittard chocolate wafers

Microwave 2 minutes whisk, heat additional time if needed.

Sometimes I add some espresso powder

[jackthebear]

i use Hershey's cocoa

some in a cup, and a bit of hot water, emulsify. until a loose mix with no lumps that is the important part.

add milk -- microwave or stove top, add sweetener

Ingredients

• 2 Cups Heavy Cream Powder
• 1/2 Cup Granulated Swerve (or favorite 1:1 SF sweetener)
• 1/2 Cup Confectioners Swerve
• 1/3 Cup Organic Cocoa Powder
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1/2 tsp Cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

To Make The Keto Hot Chocolate Powdered Mix

• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, sifting the cocoa powder. Whisk to combine.
• Store in a quart size glass jar, such as a Mason jar.

To Make A Mug Of Keto Hot Chocolate

• Boil 8 oz of hot water. Carefully add 3-4 Tbsp of keto hot chocolate mix powder to the water and mix to combine.

Notes

• Dairy Free Keto Hot Chocolate Mix: Substitute coconut milk powder in place of the heavy cream powder.

• Mocha Keto Hot Chocolate Mix: Add 1/4 Cup of instant espresso powder to the powdered mix and whisk to combine. Just want to make one mug into a mocha?  I like to add 1-2 Tbsp of the keto hot chocolate mix powder to 8-10 oz of black coffee.
