Main Ingredients
- 4 cups milk of choice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces white chocolate, chopped
- nutmeg (optional)
Toppings
- whipped cream for topping
- marshmallows for topping
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, chopped white chocolate, vanilla extract, and nutmeg if using.
- Heat Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and stir occasionally. Heat until the mixture comes to a gentle simmer without boiling, allowing the white chocolate to melt completely and blend smoothly.
- Serve: Remove the saucepan from heat immediately and pour the white hot chocolate into serving mugs. Top with whipped cream or marshmallows as desired and serve warm.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, use whole milk or half-and-half with higher fat content.
- Use high-quality white chocolate for the best melting and flavor.
- Do not let the mixture boil to avoid burning or separation.
- Nutmeg is optional but adds a warm, spicy note if included.
