<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I really missed hot cocoa when I had to give up milk (including soy). I've been trying for over a year to make a GOOD cup of hot cocoa w/o milk. I finally did it. The gelatin is the key ingredient lending the smooth, slighty vicous consistency that the milk normally gives it. W/o gelatin, it's thin & watery and the cocoa settles down to the bottom too quickly. ~Valerie in Tacoma -------------------------------------- GFCD Hot cocoa (one cup) While you heat the water, thoroughly mix the following dry ingredients in a coffee mug: 1 heaping teaspoon regular, unsweetened Hershey's cocoa (not special dark, Dutch style) 1 heaping teaspoon sugar* 1 packet Splenda* a few grains of salt (a tiny, tiny pinch) 1 packet Knox unflavored gelatin Pour boiling water into cup. Stir well. Add 1 drop vanilla extract, a tiny pinch cinnamon or marshmellows as desired. *You can use 2 teaspoons sugar or 2 packets Splenda. I like it best with one of each.
