Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups Whole Milk
- 4 ounces high-quality White Chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Pinch of Salt
- Optional: Whipped cream or marshmallows for topping
Instructions
- Pour the milk into a medium saucepan. Heat the milk over medium-low heat until small bubbles form around the edges. Do not let it boil.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the finely chopped white chocolate to the warm milk.
- Let the chocolate sit in the hot milk for about one minute to soften.
- Whisk the mixture gently until the white chocolate is completely melted and the drink is smooth.
- Return the saucepan to low heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and the pinch of salt. Heat for another minute, stirring constantly, until the drink is hot but not boiling.
- Pour the white hot chocolate into mugs. Top with whipped cream or marshmallows if desired.
Notes
- Use white chocolate bars or wafers for the best melting quality; white chocolate chips may contain stabilizers that prevent smooth melting.
- For a richer flavor, substitute half of the milk with heavy cream.
- Adjust the amount of chocolate based on your preference for sweetness and richness.
