Make a rich, creamy, and decadent white hot chocolate on the stove using real white chocolate. This easy recipe is perfect for cozy winter nights and holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups Whole Milk
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 6 ounces good quality White Chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • Pinch of Salt

Instructions

  1. Pour the milk and heavy cream into a medium saucepan over medium heat. Heat the mixture until steam begins to rise and small bubbles form around the edges, but do not let it boil.
  2. Reduce the heat to low. Add the finely chopped white chocolate to the warm milk mixture.
  3. Whisk constantly until the white chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. This may take several minutes. Do not let the mixture simmer or boil, as this can cause the chocolate to separate or scorch.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  5. Taste the hot chocolate and add a small amount of sweetener if desired, though the white chocolate usually provides enough sweetness.
  6. Pour the white hot chocolate into mugs. Top with whipped cream, marshmallows, or a dusting of cinnamon.

Notes

  • For a Starbucks copycat version, use slightly less white chocolate or add 1 tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk for extra richness.
  • If you are planning meals for the week, this recipe pairs well with simple comfort foods often found through best meal delivery services.
  • To make this a gourmet hot chocolate, add a splash of peppermint extract or a small amount of liqueur like Baileys before serving.
  • This recipe yields four servings. If you are looking for structured eating plans, consider a keto meal plan delivery for variety.
