There is nothing quite like a steaming mug of white hot chocolate when the weather turns cold. It is a wonderful alternative to traditional cocoa and has such a lovely, sweet vanilla flavor that kids and adults both adore.

My favorite trick for this recipe is to use real white chocolate chips instead of the candy coating bars, as they melt down much smoother. If you want to make it extra fancy, add a dollop of fresh whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top.

๐Ÿงบ Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup high quality white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A tiny pinch of salt

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸณInstructions

  1. 1

    Pour the milk into a small saucepan and place it over medium low heat.

  2. 2

    Add the white chocolate chips and the pinch of salt to the pan.

  3. 3

    Whisk the mixture gently and constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and the milk is hot.

  4. 4

    Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

  5. 5

    Pour into your favorite mugs and serve while warm.

๐Ÿ’ก Tips

Store any leftovers in the fridge and reheat them gently on the stove. I love serving this with a few marshmallows or a light dusting of cocoa powder for contrast.
