This easy 3-Ingredient Instant Hot Chocolate recipe is a dairy-free, quick, and comforting drink perfect for any time you crave a warm cocoa treat. Made with coconut milk powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, and coconut sugar, it comes together in just minutes using hot water, and can be enhanced with optional cinnamon, coconut whipped cream, and grated dark chocolate for a deliciously creamy and flavorful experience.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp coconut milk powder
  • 1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2-3 tsp coconut sugar (or cane sugar)
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

Liquid Ingredients

  • 1 – 1 ¼ cup hot water

Toppings (Optional)

  • Coconut whipped cream
  • Grated dark chocolate

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: Add coconut milk powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, coconut sugar, and optional ground cinnamon into a mug that can hold at least 1 ¼ cups (300 ml). Stir the dry ingredients together until evenly mixed.
  2. Add Small Amount of Hot Water: Pour just enough hot water (about 2 tablespoons or 30 ml) over the dry ingredients to cover them. Use an electric kettle or another method to heat the water to near boiling.
  3. Mix to Create Concentrate: Using a fork or small whisk, vigorously stir the mixture until it forms a smooth, semi-thick hot cocoa concentrate with no lumps.
  4. Add Remaining Hot Water: Add 1 cup (240 ml) of hot water to the concentrate in the mug. Stir thoroughly to break up any remaining clumps and to evenly combine the mixture into a smooth hot chocolate.
  5. Taste and Adjust: Sample the hot chocolate and add more cinnamon or sweetener if desired. Stir well to incorporate any additions.
  6. Serve with Optional Toppings: For a special touch, top your hot chocolate with coconut whipped cream and grated dark chocolate before enjoying immediately.

Notes

  • Use an electric kettle or other rapid heating method to get hot water quickly and conveniently.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste by varying the amount of coconut sugar or cane sugar.
  • Ground cinnamon adds a warm, spicy note but can be omitted if preferred.
  • Coconut whipped cream and grated dark chocolate are optional toppings that elevate the drink’s richness and presentation.
  • Ensure your mug is large enough to hold at least 1 ¼ cups (300 ml) to prevent spills during preparation.
