Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups Whole Milk
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 12 ounces good quality White Chocolate, chopped
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon Peppermint Extract (or to taste)
  • Whipped Cream, for topping
  • Crushed Peppermints, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Pour the milk and heavy cream into a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat until small bubbles form around the edges. Do not let it boil.
  2. Reduce the heat to low. Add the chopped white chocolate and sugar to the warm milk mixture.
  3. Whisk gently and continuously until the white chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the salt and vanilla extract.
  5. Add the peppermint extract. Start with 1/2 teaspoon, taste, and add more if you prefer a stronger mint flavor.
  6. Pour the hot chocolate into mugs. Top generously with whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed peppermints. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you want a richer drink, substitute half of the milk with half-and-half.
  • For a slightly less sweet version, reduce the added sugar by half.
