Ingredients
Scale
Milk Mixture
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- Whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Heat the Milk: Pour 2 cups of milk into a medium saucepan and warm it over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
- Melt the White Chocolate: Add 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips to the warm milk and stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Cream and Vanilla: Stir in 1/4 cup of heavy cream along with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to combine the flavors.
- Serve: Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully pour the white hot chocolate into mugs.
- Top and Enjoy: Generously top each mug with whipped cream for an extra indulgent finish before serving warm.
Notes
- Use whole milk for the creamiest texture; skim or plant-based milk can be substituted but may alter richness.
- White chocolate chips melt better than chunks, ensuring a smooth consistency.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less white chocolate according to your taste.
- For a festive twist, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg on top of the whipped cream.
- To make it extra special, add a splash of peppermint extract or a shot of espresso for a mocha variation.
