Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips good quality, such as Ghirardelli
- 4 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- a pinch salt
Homemade colored whipped cream
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (or more to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- food coloring (red or green)
Instructions
- To make the homemade colored whipped cream, add the cream to a large bowl. Then, add as much food coloring as needed to reach your desired color.
- Whip the cream, using a whisk or hand mixer, until it forms soft peaks. Then, add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
- Continue to whip until it forms stiff peaks. Be careful not to over-whip it, or it will break and eventually turn into butter.
- Next, to make the white hot chocolate, add the milk and white chocolate chips to a medium sized pot. Heat it over medium-low heat, and stir continuously until all of the white chocolate has melted. Do not let it simmer or boil.
- Turn the heat off, then add a pinch of salt and vanilla (or any other flavorings you want). Pour it in a mug or mason jar, top with whipped cream and sprinkles (or any other toppings of choice), and ENJOY!
Notes
- It's important to use good quality white chocolate chips, such as Ghirardelli.
- You can use the milk of your choice. Some people use 2%, or do a mixture of milk and half and half. Personally, I think using all whole milk gives it the best taste and consistency.
- For the adults in the family only - we like to add whiskey to our hot white chocolate. It's heaven!
