Ingredients
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream see notes
- 6 ounces white chocolate finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- Whipped cream or marshmallows for topping
Instructions
- Add the milk and cream to a sauce pan over medium heat and heat until the edges just lightly start to bubble. Do not bring the milk to a boil.
- Remove from the heat and immediately stir in the chopped chocolate and vanilla. Continue stirring until the chocolate has fully melted.
- Divide the hot chocolate between 4 mugs and top with whipped cream, if desired.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- We like a rich and creamy hot chocolate, so we add in a cup of heavy cream. To cut calories and fat, you may use all milk or less cream - just use a total of 4 cups in all. This will still be delicious, just a bit less decadent.
- We prefer to use a quality bar of white chocolate over chocolate chips in this recipe as it will melt nicer and have a better flavor. We like Lindt or Ghiradelli.
- Add a bit of our peppermint syrup to make this into a Peppermint White Hot Chocolate!
