Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup high-quality white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate (such as Guittard or Ghirardelli)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, white chocolate, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt if you are using it. This will ensure all the flavors come together smoothly.
- Heat and Whisk: Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and whisk constantly. Continue whisking until the white chocolate is fully melted and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Be careful not to let the mixture boil as this can affect the texture.
- Serve Immediately: Once smooth and hot, pour the white hot chocolate into mugs and serve right away while warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate like Guittard or Ghirardelli for the best flavor and smoothness.
- Whisking constantly helps prevent the chocolate from burning and ensures a silky texture.
- Do not boil the mixture as white chocolate can scorch easily and milk may curdle.
- Optional pinch of salt enhances the sweetness and balances flavors.
- This recipe serves 2, but can be easily adjusted by doubling or halving the ingredients.
