Cinnamon Mocha Hot Chocolate Mix – Hot Cocoa
One of our family favorite drinks in winter is of course hot chocolate and what better then to make it a mocha hot chocolate and add a dash of cinnamon. Cinnamon has a way of making those warm drinks extra special; don’t you agree?
Of course we like our hot chocolate thick and creamy. In truth we have it all year round. Hot in winter and cold in summer. I make a jar and leave it in the fridge so the kids can have it when they feel the need.
Cinnamon Mocha Hot Chocolate Mix – Hot Cocoa
Thick and creamy and taste like Vanilla Pastry Cream
We like our hot chocolate thick and creamy so I add just a little cornstarch in the mix. This thickens the hot cocoa making it extra luxurious. Just like you do when you make eggless vanilla pastry cream just not as thick as that.
I love to grate some chocolate for extra dusting and dress the rim sometimes too. Just makes it a little extra special.

Wouldn’t that make a lovely drink for a date night? or Valentine’s Day?
This was for me and hubby on movie night recently with a dash of Chocolate Khalua. Yum!!
I love the tip about cornstarch. I’ll definitely use it in the future! Thank you so much for sharing!
Always a pleasure Julia
This is such a great idea. Skip the store bought stuff and make your own. You can even adjust the amount of coffee/sugar/cocoa to you liking. Perfect for the dead of winter we are in right now.
Absolutely Gloria.. My mom never ever purchased these things – she always complained that she was a control freak who wanted to be in control but now I see the positives of it all.
Sounds delicious! I love the combo of chocolate and cinnamon, so warming. We like to make cocoa mix at home since we can’t have the store-bought kind sue to allergies. I’ll have to try adding corn starch next time!
Thanks Sarah. The cornstarch juts makes it a tad thicker and more luxurious.
Homemade hot chocolate is so delicious. One of my favourite drinks on a cold day.
Mine too Bintu – Thanks
It looks delicious and i love the idea of adding a little cornstarch to make it really thick and creamy – that’s a tip I’m definitely going to try!
Thanks Corina.. Yeah I love it thicker… goes down so smooth.
I do like a good Mocha when the weather is colder, and I imagine the additon of cinnamon makes this delicious and warming.
I so does Helen.. I love cinnamon..!
Oh wow! A drinkable pastry cream LOL! Like this – hits all the right spots!
It doesn’t doesn’t it?
I would love a cuppa of this delicious hot chocolate today, it’s so gloomy outside!
Oh here too! Kids using any excuse to make a cup.
Love a little cinnamon in my hot chocolate – it makes all the difference!
Sure does Lisa.. Love cinnamon
I love hot chocolate but I usually just get the pre made mix. Now I’m thinking I should make it at home!
Yeah I love making the mix at home.. can control the sugar
This sounds so delicious! I love the idea of chocolate, cinnamon and coffee all wrapped up in one delicious drink! Thanks for the recipe!
You are very welcome Elizabeth
