Cadbury Bournville Cocoa Hot Chocolate Recipe

Preparation instructions (with 200 ml semi-skimmed milk): Mix one teaspoon (4 g) of Cadbury Cocoa into a smooth paste with a little cold milk. Add hot milk whilst stirring briskly. Sweeten to taste (adding sugar will change the nutrition and increase calories consumed).

How to Make Cadbury Hot Chocolate With Water

Making Cadbury hot chocolate with water is a straightforward process that usually involves a few simple steps. Cadbury hot chocolate is a popular powdered mix that dissolves in both water and milk, providing a smooth and creamy beverage. Here’s a typical method to prepare Cadbury hot chocolate using water:

Ingredients

Cadbury Hot Chocolate powder
Water

Instructions

  1. Boil water: Heat water in a kettle or saucepan. Ensure it reaches a near-boiling temperature. You can also heat the water in a microwave-safe container in the microwave until it’s hot.
  2. Measure the hot chocolate powder: Take a mug and add the desired amount of Cadbury Hot Chocolate powder. The amount can vary based on your preference for the strength of the chocolate flavor. Typically, two to three heaped teaspoons are used for an 8 oz cup.
  3. Pour hot water: Once the water is hot, carefully pour it into the mug over the hot chocolate powder. Stir continuously with a spoon until the powder completely dissolves.
  4. Mix thoroughly: Stir the hot chocolate and water mixture until it becomes smooth and consistent. Ensure there are no lumps and that the powder is fully dissolved.
  5. Adjust sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add sugar or sweeteners to adjust the flavor to your liking. Stir well to incorporate the added sweetener.
  6. Serve: Once the hot chocolate is well mixed and reaches your desired taste and temperature, it’s ready to be served. Be cautious, as the beverage might be hot. You can add marshmallows or whipped cream on top for an extra treat.

Remember, the ratio of hot chocolate powder to water can be adjusted according to your taste preferences. Some may prefer a richer chocolate taste and use more powder, while others might prefer a milder flavor.

Always check the specific instructions on the Cadbury Hot Chocolate packaging for any additional guidance or recommended measurements.

Enjoy your delicious Cadbury hot chocolate made with water!


When I was in primary school, my older brother and I always looked forward to our afternoon cup of hot chocolate.

We’d make it with four cubes of sugar (without my mother’s knowledge) and loved to have it with buttered baguette.

That was many, many years ago.

Until recently, when I suddenly started drinking a cup of hot chocolate every day, hot chocolate no longer had a place in my life except when it was mixed with coffee, to make my much-loved café mocha.

A Daily Cup of Cadbury Hot Chocolate

My new adult habit of drinking a daily cup of hot chocolate began during a cold Nairobi winter.

Hot chocolate was the perfect thing to give me respite from the cold as well as much needed comfort during that particular time in my life.

I had at least one cup every evening.

The only problem I had with my hot chocolate was that the chocolate powder sometimes didn’t dissolve fully into my milk.

This made my hot chocolate not as chocolaty as I wanted. Instead, there would be disturbing specks of chocolate powder floating at the top of my drink.

I didn’t think much about it. Still, I was very happy to unexpectedly find a solution to my predicament one day when I learned how to make Cadbury Hot Chocolate even better.

How to make the best hot chocolate with cadbury powder: start with a tin of Cadbury Drinking Chocolate with a Cadbury Hot Chocolate recipe on the side

One morning, after my usual mid-morning walk, I came home in the mood for something chocolaty.

I wanted something similar to hot chocolate but wanted it cold.

I decided to try the recipe for a cold chocolate drink that I had seen so often on the side of many Cadbury Drinking Chocolate tins.

How to Make the Best Hot Chocolate With Cadbury Powder

The recipe read:

Add 3 heaped teaspoons of Cadbury Drinking Chocolate into a glass, add a little hot water and mix to a thin paste. Top up with cold water – stir well, and enjoy. For a super cold drink, add an ice cube.”

I followed the recipe with a few (minor) adjustments.

First, I decided to use 2.5 teaspoons of Cadbury Drinking Chocolate instead of 3 so that my drink wouldn’t be too sweet, and second, I decided to top up my drink with milk, instead of water, because I was in the mood for a rich drink!

The drink was just as I hoped it would be: rich, chocolaty, and cold.

I was also surprised to see that there were no undissolved Cadbury hot chocolate powder granules in my cold chocolate.

Mixing the chocolate powder with hot water before making the rest of the drink seemed to have taken care of that!

I tried this method when making my cup of hot chocolate later that same day, and it worked wonders!

A Lesson About the Importance of Following Directions

The hot water trick was not the only thing that I took away from this cold chocolate experience.

The other thing that I learned that day was the importance of following directions.

If only I had read the directions on the Cadbury Drinking Chocolate tin sooner!

Maybe then I would not have had to suffer through so many cups of hot chocolate that were not as rich and smooth as I longed for them to be.

And yet, the directions were there all the time!

TL;DR: How to make cadbury hot chocolate: If you are a fan of chocolate drinks and have a problem with your chocolate powder not dissolving fully, simply remember to mix your Cadbury hot chocolate powder with some hot water first, before making the rest of your drink with milk or water, as you please.

Secondly, reading and following instructions is a good thing!

This is one of the best ways to get maximum performance out of any product or item.

I’ve definitely learned my lesson!

Until the next time,

  1. Reminded me of my primary school days when we would add more sugar to tea in the absence of grany’s watchful eye. The funny part is that the tea was often accompanied with banana’s so one wonders what difference the sugar made in the first place.

  2. I have Cadbury hot chocolate most nights when it’s cold, made with milk and once ready put squirty cream on top and sprinkle either grated chocolate or Cadbury hot chocolate powder over the top, personally I loved it when mum allowed us one scoop of powder off the spoon and my kids love it too

    1. Hi Hayley,
