Oh man, who doesn’t love a warm cup of hot chocolate? Well, I’m sure someone out there would pass on it. But, I wouldn’t. Especially, a sweet, homemade cup of white hot chocolate topped with whipped cream!
As you can see from the photos, that’s exactly what we’re sharing today. A quick and simple, white hot cocoa recipe. When I say quick and simple, I mean it. The list of optional toppings is longer than the ingredient list.
How to Make White Hot Chocolate:
First, place a large saucepan over low heat. Pour in the milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.
Next, stir in the white chocolate chips. Once the chocolate has melted and the mixture starts to steam, turn off the heat.
Then, transfer the mixture to a mug. At this point, your hot cocoa is technically done.
However, if you’re like us, then you have to add some toppings. Below is a list of our favorites.
What are the best hot chocolate toppings?
- Whipped Cream
- Chocolate shavings (semi-sweet, dark, or white)
- Holiday Sprinkles
- Marshmallows
- Chocolate Chips (semi-sweet, dark, or white)
- Crushed Nuts (peanuts, almonds, pistachios, etc.)
- Chocolate Syrup (dark or white)
Last, once the hot chocolate has been topped, serve and enjoy.
That’s it, your white hot chocolate recipe is done! Kim and I hope you like it and wish you all the best 🙂
