Ingredients For White Chocolate Hot Chocolate

Making a mug of this yummy white chocolate hot chocolate takes just a few minutes longer than a powder mix! And yet it comes out twice as delicious!

To make this recipe whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, chopped white chocolate, and vanilla extract are cooked on the stovetop. Once the mixture is thoroughly incorporated and steaming, its ready to pour into your oversized mugs.

As with any classic cup of hot chocolate, you’ll want to finish your mug off with sweet toppings! We love topping ours with whipped cream, marshmallows, white chocolate curls, or sprinkles.

How To Make White Chocolate Hot Chocolate

1. Add whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, chopped white chocolate, and vanilla extract to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring the hot chocolate mixture to a simmer while stirring constantly.
2. Pour the finished white chocolate hot chocolate into two mugs. Then garnish the mugs with whipped cream, white chocolate curls, and sprinkles!

Rebecca’s Tips

• While cooking the hot chocolate on the stovetop be sure to stir the mixture constantly. Doing so will prevent the ingredients from burning to the bottom of the pan while also ensuring everything is thoroughly incorporated.
  
• Note that this recipe makes two cups of white chocolate hot chocolate. Therefore, if more than two people plan to enjoy this drink you’ll want to double or triple the recipe.
  
• Whole milk can be replaced with your milk of choice. However, keep in mind that omitting whole milk will create a thinner consistency and could impact the final taste.
  
• Adults can spike their white chocolate hot chocolate with vanilla vodka for a boozy drink!
