White Hot Chocolate is Amazing!

With the arrival of cooler weather, it’s certainly a great time to start thinking about relaxing with a nice warm beverage. Of course, something delicious, creamy, and amazingly decadent is the perfect way to warm up. White hot chocolate is a grown up version of the more traditional hot chocolate. One sip of this creamy white hot chocolate will be all it takes to lure you in. This just might be your new favorite cold weather drink.

OK, I know, all you have to do is take a look at the ingredients and you’ll know why this white hot chocolate is so good. It’s definitely a special indulgence that will require a little self-control and moderation. Something for a cold winter afternoon or to enjoy as a wonderful treat for a special occasion. Clearly, this is not a diet beverage, but you could easily substitute whole milk or even reduced fat milk for part of the heavy cream or half and half, but . . .  well, that’s a personal decision, sometimes you just have to go all in.

Here’s the original recipe and I’ll let you make any modifications you feel are necessary. Just do me a favor and at least try it with all its creamy deliciousness before you begin to tweak the recipe. There’s nothing wrong with the occasional indulgence!

It’s Easy to Make Creamy White Hot Chocolate

All you’ll need is heavy cream, half-and-half, vanilla extract, and good quality white chocolate chips.

Place the white chocolate chips into a medium saucepan. Add the heavy cream and heat over low heat until the chocolate is melted.  Don’t overheat! Stir the half-and-half and vanilla into the white chocolate mixture; then heat until it’s hot, but still under a simmer. Be careful, chocolate can scorch easily.
