- 4 cups Whole Milk
- 8 ounces good quality White Chocolate, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Pinch of Salt
- Pour the milk into a medium saucepan over medium heat. Heat the milk until small bubbles form around the edges, but do not let it boil.
- Reduce the heat to low. Add the chopped white chocolate to the warm milk.
- Whisk constantly until the white chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. This takes about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in the sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Continue to whisk gently until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Taste the hot chocolate and add more sugar if you prefer it sweeter.
- Pour the white hot chocolate into mugs immediately and serve hot.
Notes
- For an extra rich drink, substitute 1/2 cup of the milk with heavy cream.
- Use white chocolate chips or baking bars; avoid using white baking wafers as they contain less cocoa butter and may result in a thinner texture.
- Top with whipped cream or toasted marshmallows for serving.
