"I found this recipe on line. I can't recall where. I do remember him saying it was a doubled and Modified version of a Splenda recipe. And dang this guy did a good job!"

 

• Ready In: 6mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Yields: 12 cups
• Serves: 12-15

ingredients

• 473.18 ml non-fat powdered milk
• 14.79 ml skim milk
• 591.47 ml splenda artificial sweetener
• 315.37 ml powdered fat-free non-diary coffee creamer
• 315.37 ml Dutch-processed cocoa powder

directions

1. Put all of the ingredients into a large bowl, and mix with a spoon until well blended. Storing the blend in an air-tight container keeps it tasting good.
2. Buy larger quantities of the ingredients because it's less expensive and you've got a ready supply of raw materials if you open the container and find it empty.
3. Making Cocoa.
4. Heat your water and spoon up 5 teaspoons of hot cocoa mix into a mug and add about a teaspoon of skim milk. Using the teaspoon, blend the milk and dry cocoa mix together until it forms a smooth, thick cocoa sludge in the bottom of the mug. now add your hot water and blend thoroughly.
5. This trick of adding milk and creating a cocoa sludge creates a smoother cup of cocoa, than if you simply added the cocoa mix to hot water.

This recipe makes a great cocoa ~ and I loved the idea of making the 'sludge' before completely blending it ~ came out smooth and creamy. Wonderful flavor and I liked that it was also diabetic friendly. Thanks Lycoris, made for COMFORT CAFE ~ SNOWQUEEN'S ROUND, January 2010!
