Pure comfort in a cup. Our Premium Drinking Chocolate is made with just two ingredients: 34% premium Dutch cocoa and 66% fine caster sugar. Nothing else. Dutch cocoa is washed to mellow the bean's natural acidity, which gives this blend its signature character: velvety texture, gentle sweetness and a deep, rounded cocoa flavour that never turns bitter.

It's made for milk. Spoon it into your cup, work it into a smooth paste with a splash of hot water, then top with steamed or well-heated milk for a café-style hot chocolate at home. It blends just as beautifully with oat and other plant-based milks, and the mix itself is plant based and gluten free.

Made by us at Māpua Wharf, it's the same drinking chocolate we provide to cafes that use our coffee, and a favourite in gift boxes alongside a bag of our coffee.

What's in Rabbit Island's drinking chocolate?

Just two ingredients: 34% premium Dutch cocoa and 66% fine caster sugar. That simplicity is the point, a velvety texture, gentle sweetness and deep cocoa flavour with nothing else in the way. It's plant based and gluten free, and comes in a 200g bag.

What is Dutch cocoa, and why use it for hot chocolate?

Dutch cocoa is washed in an alkalising solution that mellows the natural acidity of the bean. The result is a darker, smoother, rounder cocoa that dissolves more easily into milk, which is exactly what you want in a drinking chocolate rather than a baking one.

Is the drinking chocolate dairy-free or vegan-friendly?

The mix itself is plant based, with no dairy in the bag. Whether your cup is dairy-free comes down to the milk you make it with, and it works beautifully with oat and other plant milks.

How do I make a café-style hot chocolate at home?

Steamed milk makes the difference. Spoon the mix into your cup, add a splash of hot milk and stir to a smooth paste, then top with steamed or well-heated milk. Oat milk is a favourite pairing for its natural sweetness.
