This CopyCat Nesquik Recipe will save all of us chocolate milk drinkers when in a pinch. My kiddos are huge fans of chocolate milk. A couple of them will only drink milk if they have chocolate added. One of my kiddos will only use Nesquik. He refuses to use syrup (which is always the cheapest). Nesquik can get expensive especially since we do not see coupons very often for Nesquik. Last week my son poured himself a nice tall glass of milk. We then hopped into the pantry to find an empty container of Nesquik. The hubby was quick to jump in and whip up a Copycat Nesquik for him to try.

This homemade Nesquik saved me a trip to the store (which I did not have the time for at that very moment). Also, my son was VERY happy with my hubs Copycat Nesquik Recipe and says it tastes just like the real thing.

    This worked great! I did cut down on the sugar a bit. My only complaint is that I couldn’t stir it like packaged Nesquik. I had to use the blender (thankful for my single serving cup size)

    Does powdered sugar work?

    As has been mentioned, making a syrup with a little hot water is the key to dissolving in cold milk. I use 1T water per heaping 2T mix. Also, I add two drops of vanilla to give it the Nestle’s Quik flavor. Wait… did I just show my age using the original name?

    I’ve seen many copy cat recipes out there and they all pretty much have the same ingredients. Has anyone tried using brown sugar instead of white? Also, on the can of Nesquik that I currently have (I am in Europe so the ingredients may be a bit different), cinnamon is listed as one of the ingredients. I think I will try this with granulated brown sugar and add in cinnamon as well to see how it goes. Thanks for the inspiration!

    I do this, but I use a 3:1 rather than 2:1 sweetener-to-cocoa ratio, and I add some coffee creamer, and I use stevia & fructose instead of sucrose, to reduce the glycemic index.

    However, I wish I knew how Nestlé gets Nesquik to dissolve so well in cold milk!

      I wonder if you whizzed it in a Ninja blender if that would make it and combined enough to dissolve.

    I’ve been making this for years, you do need to add in the recipe though that cocoa does not dissolve in cold milk. It only dissolves in warm liquid, requiring that some of the milk be heated first. So while it does taste good it did require an extra step over Nesquik.

    I have a question for anyone who might know.. I use Sugar free Nesquik in my protein shakes but is there a good recipe to make this at home too? Any ideas? I have a Ninja so I can grind the mixture up pretty fine? Thanks in advance

    This will be much cheaper than Nesquick sugarfree. Splenda and cocoa and salt mixed in an airtight container is simple. Tablespoon of hot water and it’s ready for milk, iced coffee or in a blender with ice cream!

    Seen this mixture, had to make. Would definitely be a cheaper option to the over priced Ñesquik, on the shelves.
    When you take the mixture straight to cold milk it seperates, an your left with granules afloat on top of your milk.
    First, take about 1 Tbsp warm tap water an your desired amount of mixture, make a syrup. Then add to your ice cold milk. Tastes just like ñesquik.

    I made this recipe and it didn’t work for me–it tasted great but the mix did not dissolve in my milk at all. All the cocoa floated to the top and would not mix in. Is there a trick to this that I am missing?

      A little trick I do, dissolve the powder in a tiny bit of hot water and create a chocolate syrup, then add to cold milk… <3

        THANK YOU! I will hit it with my milk frother too and see if that helps.

      I put the mixture into my Vitamix (or you can use a food processor) to make the powder very fine. I also sometimes dissolve the powder in a little bit of milk first and mix it into a sort of liquid syrup.

    Stopping by from Hearth & Soul. I love this! My husband and so are big Nesquick users and I’m not that wild about it due to cost (yes..it is expensive!) and who-knows-what’s-in it. Really excited about this copycat recipe!

    I love copycat recipes. So much cheaper than already made. Not at all hard to make and I DO have all the ingredients in my pantry! Hopped over from Mix It Up Monday Linky Party:)
