1 ½cupswhite chocolate chipshigh quality (We like Ghiradelli chips or a Lindt bar.)
Instructions
Whisk the milk and vanilla together in a large saucepan over medium heat.
4 cups whole milk, 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Once the liquid begins to bubble around the edges, pour in the chocolate chips. Do not boil the milk or it will burn. Just let it barely simmer while you whisk.
1 ½ cups white chocolate chips
Continue whisking the entire time to prevent burning until the chocolate is fully melted and creamy, about 4 minutes.
Turn the heat off and let the mixture cool for 5 minutes as you continue whisking the entire time.
Serve immediately with whipped cream, crushed peppermints, white chocolate shavings and mini marshmallows if desired.
