Sweet, rich and seductive, hot chocolate made with creamy white chocolate is an elegant drink to sip on frosty mornings. This recipe makes six steaming cups; you can reduce the amounts for fewer servings. White chocolate is more heat sensitive than dark chocolate and must be cooked very gently.

  • 6 cups whole milk
  • 9 ounces white chocolate, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream for garnish (optional)
In a medium saucepan, heat the milk to simmering over medium heat. Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the chocolate and vanilla. Cook until hot but not boiling, stirring frequently. Remove the pan from the heat and pour into mugs. Top with whipped cream, if desired.
