Ingredients
Scale

- 4 cups (946 ml) milk
- 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
- Toppings of choice
- Hot chocolate stir sticks
- Peppermint whipped cream
Instructions
- Milk Preparation: Pour milk into a thick-bottomed saucepan and heat gently over moderate temperature, ensuring a delicate simmer without reaching a full boil.
- Chocolate Infusion: Reduce heat and add white chocolate chips and vanilla extract, whisking persistently until the chocolate dissolves completely, creating a silky-smooth liquid.
- Serving and Garnishing: Pour the velvety hot chocolate into prewarmed mugs, then crown with a lavish swirl of whipped cream and optional toppings like marshmallows, cinnamon, or chocolate shavings for an elegant presentation.
Notes
- Prevent Scorching: Stir milk constantly and use low heat to avoid burning or creating a bitter taste at the bottom of the pan.
- Chocolate Quality Matters: Select high-quality white chocolate chips with a higher cocoa butter content for a richer, smoother texture and more authentic flavor.
- Whisk with Purpose: Continuously whisk while melting chocolate to ensure even distribution and prevent clumping or separation of ingredients.
- Serving Temperature: Serve immediately after preparation to enjoy the optimal creamy consistency and maximum flavor profile of the white hot chocolate.
