If you're one of my regular readers, you know that I'm always looking for new versions of old favorites. So, I figured, instead of doing a regular hot chocolate, why not do it with white chocolate instead? It's rich and creamy and festive and sweet enough that you could definitely serve it as a dessert beverage. Or maybe just whip up a batch to warm you up on a snowy night. You'll definitely be thinking "why haven't I done this sooner?"
Tbh, I kind of like it after all the craziness is over, say on Christmas night, after all the parties and food and wrapping and presents. It's a great way to cap off the holiday with something warm and comforting. If you're a fan of white chocolate, I promise you'll love it!
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup heavy cream
4 cups half-and-half
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vanilla whipped topping, for garnish
1 cup heavy cream
4 cups half-and-half
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vanilla whipped topping, for garnish
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine white chocolate chips
and heavy cream. Stir continuously until white chocolate chips have
completely melted. Stir in the half-and-half, and vanilla extract. Stir
occasionally until heated through. Pour into mugs and top with a dollop
of vanilla whipped cream.
Tips:
To lighten it up a bit, just use any milk of choice instead of the heavy cream. You could even use almond milk, if you so choose.
For a little extra holiday touch, sprinkle the top with crushed peppermint sticks!
