2 cups whole milk (or milk of choice)
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup good quality white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Whipped cream, for topping (optional)
White chocolate shavings or sprinkles, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Heat the Milk and Cream:
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk and heavy cream. Warm the mixture until it’s steaming but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent it from scorching.

Remove the saucepan from heat and add the white chocolate chips (or chopped white chocolate). Whisk the mixture until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Add Vanilla:
Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
Serve:
Pour the creamy white hot chocolate into mugs. Top with whipped cream and white chocolate shavings or sprinkles if desired.
Enjoy:
Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, rich goodness!
Notes
Use High-Quality White Chocolate: For the best flavor and creaminess, opt for good-quality white chocolate chips or chopped bars.
Dairy-Free Option: For a dairy-free version, use almond or oat milk and coconut cream, along with dairy-free white chocolate.
Festive Twist: Add a splash of peppermint extract for a fun, minty twist on your white hot chocolate.
