- ¼ cup sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- ¼ tsp pure vanilla extract
- Green gel food coloring
- Whipped cream
- St. Patrick’s Day sprinkles
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, add the milk, heavy cream, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and white chocolate chips.
- Heat Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat and heat the mixture until it is steamy and the white chocolate chips have completely melted, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.

Notes
- Use whole milk for a creamier texture.
- Stir continuously while heating to avoid burning the white chocolate.
- Adjust the green food coloring gradually since it can be very concentrated.
- For a vegan version, substitute dairy milk and cream with plant-based alternatives and use dairy-free white chocolate chips.
- Serve immediately for best taste and warmth.
