Strawberry Hot Cocoa Mix

Published: Jan 19, 2022 · Recipe by: Beth · This post may contain affiliate links.

Make homemade strawberry hot cocoa mix using just four ingredients including freeze-dried strawberries and white chocolate, then mix it into a mug of hot milk to create the most amazing strawberry hot chocolate. It’s a perfect wintertime treat.

A few months ago, I made some brain-shaped hot chocolate bombs for Halloween and filled them with homemade strawberry hot cocoa mix. When the white chocolate bombs were melted in a mug of hot milk, they made the most amazing strawberry hot chocolate.

So, when Dixie Crystals asked me to create a strawberry hot chocolate recipe to share on their website, I knew exactly where to start.

The strawberry-flavored hot cocoa mix that I used to fill the hot chocolate bombs tasted great when melted with the white chocolate shell (the brain), but on its own was lacking in flavor.

I knew I need to add an equal amount of white chocolate that was in each chocolate bomb’s shell to the hot cocoa mix, so I grated white chocolate and mixed it with the crushed freeze-dried strawberries, powdered sugar, and powdered milk. It worked perfectly!

When mixed with hot milk, it made hot chocolate that had a wonderful strawberries & cream flavor.

To make the strawberry hot chocolate bright pink for Valentine’s Day, I swapped out plain white chocolate for pink candy melts.
