Chocolate Milk Powder

June 2, 2015 by Amanda 109 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Make your own Chocolate Milk Powder Mix (like Nesquick)! Super simple & cheap to make with just 3 ingredients you probably already have!

DIY Nesquick - DIY Powder Chocolate Milk Mix- Cheap & Takes a Minute To Make | craftycookingmama.com

Love Nesquick? Make Your Own Chocolate Milk Powder!

I’m always experimenting in the kitchen trying my hand at copycat recipes.

Two reasons.

First – NOTHING is getting cheaper. It seems I spend more & more money every time I go grocery shopping.

Second – it’s a wonderful thing if I can make something at home that’s less processed & with less mystery ingredients.

This Homemade Chocolate Milk Powder Mix is a win-win.  

It takes just a few minutes to make with ingredients most of us already have on hand.

Prefer the syrup for your chocolate milk? Check out my Chocolate Syrup recipe!

Ingredients & Instructions

Chocolate Milk Powder Ingredients - Sugar, Salt and Cocoa Powder

Making your own Chocolate Milk Mix couldn’t be much easier. Mix together sugar, cocoa powder and a pinch of salt.  

I kept it super simple and threw everything together in a mini food processor and gave it a whirl for a minute or two. (Mixing cocoa powder is far more pleasant when you’re not inhaling lungfuls of cocoa powder dust.) You could also mix it up in a capped jar or whisk it together.

It certainly looks and smells like your average chocolate milk mix. As for taste – it’s spot on. It’s picky kid approved.

Here’s the thing though, you can’t mix this into milk “as is”. You can try – but you’ll end up with a lot of gritty sugary cocoa floating on top of your chocolate milk that won’t mix in.  

There is a simple solution. Start your glass off with a bit of warm water and mix in the chocolate milk mix – this dissolves all the mixture. Now add your milk, stir and enjoy.

Hope you enjoy!

    If you use powdered sugar instead of granular sugar you can skip the warm water part. Try it 🙂

        Hi Ashley. I haven’t tried it with powdered sugar yet, but I would use the same amounts. You can easily add a bit more cocoa if it needs more chocolate power 🙂

        Oh and to add to that, I tried both WITHOUT the dissolving trick before adding the milk. Just saying that powdered sugar did not resolve that issue for me.

      Do NOT use powdered sugar in this, unless you only want to make hot cocoa. The cornstarch in the powdered sugar will not dissolve in cold milk, and is hard to dissolve even when you when warm the milk. Stick to finely ground white sugar, baking sugar, for the best result. I will be using the cocoa and powdered sugar blend to make frosting for my next batch of brownies, LOL.

    Definitely not bad, but there is no measurement for how much cocoa to water ratio. I ended up with unsweet cocoa milk. But it’s not bad, and it’s the best chocolate milk mix recipe I’ve seen yet. And it’s so simple!

      February 7, 2016 at 11:05 pm

      Hi Alyssia. Ohhhh…you’re right – I didn’t list a measurement for the cocoa mix. I like a very lightly sweetened chocolate milk and add a heaping tablespoon to a pint glass of milk (16 oz). I’m pretty sure my kiddo, who likes a very chocolately glass of chocolate milk, doubles to triples that amount for hers. Sorry there was no measurement – I’ll update the recipe. Thanks for stopping by 🙂

        Glad you enjoyed it, Selene. I was talking to a friend the other day about the hit & miss of this recipe. She suggested that perhaps some of the people were chocolate milk drinkers made from syrup instead of powder. The two do yield a very different drink. The syrup is a much darker & sweeter drink, while the powder is a lighter and more cocoa flavored drink…

          Hi Fran. Honestly, I’m not sure. I’ve just started using Stevia and have been working on baking with it. I haven’t tried it in any type of drink recipes. If I get to try it out – I’ll definitely update the recipe. If you try it, I’d love to hear the amounts you use 🙂

          Seriously, forget the stevia and go with Swerve. It measures, tastes and bakes like sugar, has 0 glucose response, no aftertaste and no digestive upset which the others can cause for some people

    This is a dangerous recipe for me to have learned…it’s delicious!
    Chocolate milk is one of my absolute favorite drinks, a major indulgence that is usually stopped by the fact that I can’t afford to buy chocolate syrup all that often.
    Now that I can make it with just chocolate powder I’m in trouble!
    On the bright side, now maybe now I’ll drink more milk, it’s never too late, right?

    Thank you. Enjoyed the results. I added about a scant tablespoon of Carnation Instant Breakfast mix to the overall recipe to impart a slight vanilla flavor. I would be careful of timing when using a food processor as it invites heat through friction heat and can melt the sugar and cocoa powder. For me, less than a minute was sufficient. Also, a small whisk is helpful with the blending with the warm water.

    I used your recipe and then placed it into a liquid tight container, added some hot tap water, and then shook the heck out of it. Now I have a chocolate syrup that I keep in the ‘fridge. Ends the grit problem. I guess if you want to get fancy you could blend the mixture together in a blender or by use of a mixer before pouring it into the container.

    Take 1/2 c. cocoa powder, 1/2 c. water, 1/2 c. white sugar and put in saucer, heat for 3-5 mins on low, stirring constantly, until everything melts. Add 1/2 tsp. vanilla once melted. Take a large mason jar, and add 4 cups of cold milk. Then add the warm chocolate mixture. Put cover on mason jar and shake well. Refrigerate. You then have the best chocolate milk with no grit, ready in the fridge.

    If you add warm milk it makes a great Hot Cocoa too!! I tried giving this 5 stars but it wouldn’t let me.

    I’ve always added warm water to my chocolate milk powder mix (normally I used hot cocoa mix). My Meemaw alsways made it that way. I’m going to make this tonight, because I’m craving chocolare milk!

    Don’t know if anyone mentioned this, but if you put the cocoa mix + water in the microwave for ~30 seconds, it creates a perfect chocolate milk base! Thanks for sharing your recipe!

    I haven’t tried this but I have been experimenting with my own recipe. I heat 1/4 of the milk then add cacao, sugar, salt and cornstarch. I return it to the heat and whisk it for about five minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken. Then I add in the rest of the milk (which helps to cool it down) and add a tiny splash of vanilla and xanthan gum. I mix it thoroughly and put it in the fridge for a few hours. What I end up with is a somewhat thick, creamy, chocolatey, chocolate milk. It is much better than anything you can get at the store.

    FYI… the type of cocoa you use will make a difference. Look for alkalized cocoa; that dissolves better in liquids. Also, the powdered sugar shouldn’t be 1:1, as it’s sweeter than regular sugar. It also contains cornstarch, which could change the flavor a bit.

    This just saved me! I am making massive amounts of hot chocolate mix for gifts and only had 1/2 of the chocolate milk mix (store bought) that I needed. Whipped this up to make up the difference and it just saved me a trip back to the grocery store!! Thanks!

    This is absolutely AWESOME! Rather than dirtying my blender to mix the cocoa and sugar, I simply put it in a sealed tupperware type of container and shook it up. Worked great with no mess. I have to say this is a wonderful recipe and will permanently replace Nesquick for me. I also found the amount needed in my milk is greatly reduced. Using less than 2/3 of what I would ordinarily use gave me the chocolate taste I am so in love with. Thanks for the recipe!

    Add a smidge of cinnamon and it’s IMO even better
    and yes, the sweetener you use effects ratio….I use stevia some and it’s closer to 1:1

    THANKS SO MUCH!!! I thought I was going to have to give up my coffee. I have always added powdered chocolate milk mix to my coffee for flavor. I don’t want anything with milk or creamer. For me Nesquik and other Nestle mixes are way too sweet. Over years they have been discontinuing other brands, even store brands. The only brand that has been available in the stores or online has just been discontinued. This is just what I was looking for! Thanks again.

    I tried this when we had quiet a bit of milk that was close to expiring and using a little hot water to make it a liquid and adding some vanilla made it a huge hit with my whole family! I even told my sister in law about for her kids.

    Adding nondairy creamer acts as an emulsifier and should combine the cocoa powder into the milk. Nesquik also has a touch of cinnamon.

    I used 2/3c cane sugar, 1/2c of cocoa (I like the chocolate flavor a bit more stronger) the salt. Put ALL ingredients in a blender and rubbed it till all was a fine powder. Then pour soja milk in a glass and using a balloon wisk, I use my two hands to stir it (like you are rubbing your hands together, with the handle in the middle) and it work perfectly. Great recipe. I loved it. I know I will be doing it over and over 🙂

    I made this just ad printed using same quantities of ingredients. I used ehite powdered sugar from the Dollar Tree and Baker’s cocoa unsweetened powder, snd a good sized pinch of pink sea salt ground fine. All went into a recycled. Instant powder drink mix, I secured the lid and spun twisted it for about 2 minutes to completely mix it sll. Then I mixed 3 tblspns with 4 tblspns hot water in a pint canning jars, s secured lid and shook it to mix. Added cold milk, replaced lid and shook it until totally mixed. Shook about three minutes. Was gone in five minutes too.
    I have had No Problems as written above and its the only mix I use now.. I! Use very hot water to dissolve mix h before adding cold milk.

    This is awesome! Followed recipe as directed. My daughter is a Ness Quick junkie and she loves this recipe! I’ve tried buying many other types of chocolate milk and she didn’t like them. But this one was perfect! Thank you!!!

    I did the recipe exactly as instructed, but I added two tablespoons of nonfat dry milk. Then ran it trough a food processor for a good 4 minutes. It can be mixed cold with no warm water paste step.

    I just made this for the first time and I love it. Makes great chocolate milk. Now I’m going to have to get some ice cream and see how it does in a milkshake.

    I made this recently, but sugar free and had no issues with dissolving. I used 1 cup allulose + 1/2 tsp pure powdered stevia for the sweetness of 1 cup sugar. And then I used 1/2 c cocoa powder. Ran it through the blender and my kids are loving it.

    I’ve been making my own instant hit chocolate mix for over 45 yrs and my boys now make this for their own families. So, here’s my recipe
    1 – Regular size Nestle’s Quick
    1 – Box of Powdered Milk
    1 – Regular container of Coffee Mate
    Put all in a plastic or glass jar and shake it up and that’s that. I hope y’all enjoy your hot chocolate
