Ingredients
3 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream (see notes)
6 ounces white chocolate, finely chopped
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Whipped cream or marshmallows for topping
Instructions
-
Heat the Milk and Cream: In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it begins to steam and is just about to simmer (but not boiling).
-
Add the White Chocolate: Reduce the heat to low and add the finely chopped white chocolate. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
-
Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
-
Serve: Pour the white hot chocolate into mugs and top with whipped cream or marshmallows.
-
Optional Toppings: Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or drizzle caramel for extra flavor and visual appeal.
Notes
If you prefer a lighter version, substitute the heavy cream with more whole milk.
For a dairy-free option, use almond, oat, or coconut milk and coconut cream, and ensure the white chocolate is dairy-free.
Add a dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, or peppermint extract for extra flavor.
For a spiced variation, include cardamom or a vanilla bean for aromatic depth.
