Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Whole Milk
- 4 ounces good quality White Chocolate, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Pour the whole milk into a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat the milk until small bubbles form around the edges, but do not let it boil.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the chopped white chocolate to the warm milk.
- Let the chocolate sit in the hot milk for one minute to soften.
- Whisk the mixture gently until the white chocolate is completely melted and the drink is smooth and uniform.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the white hot chocolate into mugs and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, substitute half of the milk with heavy cream.
- Use white chocolate chips or baking bars; avoid using white chocolate flavored candy melts for the best texture.
- Top your drink with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
- To make an adult version, add one ounce of white rum or vanilla vodka after removing the mixture from the heat.
