2
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole Milk
- 1 cup White Chocolate Chips
- 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- Whipped cream optional
- Marshmallows optional
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, heat the whole milk over medium heat. The milk should be warm but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent the milk from scalding.
- Once the milk is warm, add in the white chocolate chips. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture becomes smooth and velvety.
- Add the teaspoon of vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture. This will give your homemade white hot chocolate that signature Starbucks touch.
- Pour your white hot chocolate into your favorite mug. Top your drink off with a dollop of whipped cream and/or marshmallows.
- Enjoy the coziness!
Notes
- Use high quality white chocolate chips for the best flavor. Opt for real white chocolate containing cocoa butter, sugar, and milk solids.
- When melting the white chocolate chips in the warm milk, stir continuously to ensure even melting and a smooth texture. This prevents clumps and ensures a velvety consistency.
- Do not to let the milk come to a boil. Keep it at a warm temperature to melt the white chocolate without scalding the milk.
- Get creative with toppings like a sprinkle of cinnamon, a drizzle of caramel, or crushed candy canes for a festive touch.
- If you have dietary preferences or restrictions, try using alternative milk options like almond milk or coconut milk.
- Taste the white hot chocolate before serving and adjust the sweetness if needed. If you prefer it sweeter, you can add a bit more white chocolate or a touch of sugar.
