Make a rich, decadent white hot chocolate from scratch using real white chocolate for a smooth, comforting winter beverage.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups Whole Milk
  • 8 ounces high-quality white chocolate, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Pour the milk into a medium saucepan over medium heat. Heat the milk until it is steaming but not boiling.
  2. Reduce the heat to low. Add the chopped white chocolate to the warm milk.
  3. Whisk constantly until the white chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Do not let the mixture boil, as this can cause the chocolate to separate or scorch.
  4. Stir in the sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Continue to whisk until the sugar is dissolved.
  5. Taste the hot chocolate and add more sugar if you prefer it sweeter. If you are looking for a quick alternative to traditional cooking methods, consider how meal planning can simplify your routine.
  6. Pour the white hot chocolate into mugs. Top with whipped cream, marshmallows, or chocolate shavings.

Notes

  • Use white chocolate bars or high-quality white chocolate chips for the best flavor and texture. Avoid using white baking chips that contain vegetable fats.
  • For a Starbucks copycat version, add 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract along with the vanilla.
  • To make this a gourmet white hot chocolate, stir in 1 tablespoon of heavy cream per serving just before serving for extra richness.
  • If you are preparing this for a large gathering, you can make a large batch and keep it warm in a slow cooker on the ‘warm’ setting.
