I have a recipe for hot cocoa. It calls for powdered milk but I should be able to sub powdered soymilk with no problems. Has anyone used powdered soymilk before?
Here is the full recipe
1/2 cup of cocoa
2 cups of sugar
2 2/3 cups of powdered milk
The powdered milk I have is from Trader Joe's the name is SoyGood Soy Beverage Powder.

This should work (and it sounds great!)

Oooh that does sound good. Never thought of using soy milk - maybe chocolate soy milk with some added chocolate powder would be good? Will have to try that.

The one you have sounds good...here's the recipe I've been waiting to try (it's finally chilly outside!).
"You could also make your own almost as quickly by combining 1 tablespoon plain soy milk, 2 teaspoons sugar, 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa and a pinch of salt in a small mug. Fill with soy milk and microwave on high about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes until hot."

So has anyone tried this?
If not, I'll report back as I may give it a shot soon so I can have hot chocolate at work.

I haven't tried this but I make hot chocolate all the time. I just put some soymilk into a microwaveable cup and heat untill hot. Add some cocoa powder, sugar and stir untill combined. Sometimes the cocoa will clump up. I just keep a spoon in my cup to mix as I drink. I find it really good and easy.

Yeah, I do that at home, too. It would just be nice to have it in powdered form to leave at work, you know?
I think I'll give the mix try this weekend. I think I actually have everything on hand...and I can use some of the powdered soy milk that mostly just hangs out in the cupboard.

Have you tried Chatfield's Premium Cocoa Powder?

Verdict: It works. It's not the greatest thing ever, but it is acceptable. Use about 3 tablespoons per mug.
I did use more cocoa than the recipe called for and one a 1/4 cup of sugar. Basically, I adjusted to taste. Two cups just sounded like an awful lot to me. I think it could use still more cocoa, but I'm one of those people who believes there's no such thing as too much chocolate.
And it's tasty with a mini candycane melted into it if you can tolerate it.

Finally made this hot cocoa and I thought it was very good. Just to be able to have something different to drink was a wonderful idea! I did put a little more cocoa in and I did put the full 2 cups of sugar. I did not have quite enough powdered soy so I just used what I had. What does the powdered soy do for the mix? Thanks for the post.
