Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups milk
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
- Toppings of choice (such as whipped cream, marshmallows, or sprinkles)
- Hot chocolate stir sticks
Instructions
- Heat the milk: Pour 4 cups of milk into a heavy bottom saucepan and warm it over medium heat, making sure not to let it boil to avoid scalding the milk.
- Melt white chocolate and add vanilla: Reduce the heat to low, then add 1 cup of white chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the warm milk. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Serve the hot chocolate: Remove the saucepan from heat, and carefully ladle the creamy white hot chocolate into mugs while still hot.
- Add toppings: Garnish each mug with your preferred toppings, such as whipped cream or marshmallows, and serve with hot chocolate stir sticks for an extra touch.
Notes
- For an adult twist, add 1 ounce of Kahlua or Irish cream to make a white hot chocolate cocktail.
- Use a heavy bottom saucepan to prevent milk from burning or sticking.
- Stir constantly while melting the white chocolate to achieve a smooth consistency.
- For a thicker texture, use whole milk or add a splash of cream.
- To make it vegan, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use vegan white chocolate.
