Ingredients

  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • Marshmallows garnish
  • White chocolate bar shaved (garnish)

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, heat 4 cups of whole milk over low-medium heat, stirring continuously with a spoon or whisk.
  • When the whole milk begins to froth along the edges of the saucepan, add 1 cup of white chocolate chips, 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt to the saucepan.
  • Continue to stir until all the ingredients are thoroughly blended and the white chocolate chips have melted.
  • Carefully pour the hot white chocolate into warm mugs, and top with marshmallows and shaved white chocolate if desired.
  • Immediately serve while it's hot in mugs.

Notes

  • Make it boozy by adding a splash of Irish cream to your mug of chocolatey goodness!
  • For a super festive touch, add a candy cane to each mug. It will make your hot chocolate have a minty flavor and will look very Christmasy!
  • Double, triple, or quadruple your batch to make enough hot cocoa for a large group of people.
