We recently relocated from Portland Oregon to Nashville Tennessee. I've used this product for hot cocoa for years and we love it. They don't have Droste Cocoa in this part of the US. I was so delighted to find it on Amazon.com. It's rich, much better than those cheap cocoa's you buy at the store. You won't go wrong if you like hot cocoa on a cold winter's night.just add a dab of Whipped Cream and you're ready to go.
Mix till it dissolves completely - be sure to get the sides and bottom. Get a tall mug, fill it 1/4 full with milk. Add a strong pinch of stevia for sweetening. Microwave till it is very hot. Add 1 extra heaping teaspoon of Droste. Fill the rest with milk and heat. You can also use a pot to heat in if you want to share.You can add sugar instead of stevia if you want, but why not save the calories for a second cup.
Dutch Process is the best Cocoa powder to use in any form of baking or if you just want a killer hot chocolate.
The cocoa taste is altered if you use aspartame or the phenyl.whatever. I am an avid baker and have used many different types of cocoa over the years. This is by far the best to bake with.it works well with splenda, sweet-n-low, and regular sugar. Price is higher than grocery store and lower than other high ends. I think its a fair price point for the amount of product and quality.
Dutch-Processed or Alkalized Unsweetened Cocoa Powder is treated with an alkali to neutralize its acids. Because it is neutral and does not react with baking soda, it must be used in recipes calling for baking powder, unless there are other acidic ingredients in sufficient quantities used. It has a reddish-brown color, mild flavor, and is easy to dissolve in liquids.
