Ingredients
- 1 Large candy cane
- 1 cup milk any percentage
- ⅓ cup strong coffee or espresso
- 3 tablespoons (1.5oz) chopped white chocolate (high-quality chips are fine*)
- 1 teaspoon (4g) granulated sugar or to taste
Optional Toppings
- Whipped Cream
- crushed candy cane for sprinkling
Instructions
- Place candy cane in a plastic bag and use the bottom of a cup, rolling pin, or meat mallet to crush it into small pieces.
- In a small saucepan, combine milk and crushed candy cane. Heat milk, whisking occasionally until milk begins to steam.
- Remove from heat, stir in chocolate, and continue to stir until chocolate is completely melted and candy cane pieces dissolved.
- Add coffee or espresso to a 12-ounce mug. Whisk the milk and chocolate mixture vigorously (or use a milk frother to whisk) until frothy. Pour over coffee. Add sugar to taste.
- Top with whipped cream and more crushed candy cane if desired and enjoy!
Notes
- *Be sure to use high-quality white chocolate that you enjoy the taste of. I find that cheap chips that I'm happy to eat in cookies are not ideal for flavoring white-chocolate drinks.
- Approximate nutritional information does not include optional whipped cream and was calculated using 2% milk.
