Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups whole milk (or your preferred milk)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (or chopped white chocolate)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Snowy Toppings
- Whipped cream
- Shredded coconut flakes
- White chocolate shavings or mini marshmallows
- A dusting of powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Warm the Milk and Cream: In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and heavy cream over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally and gently warm the mixture without allowing it to boil.
- Melt the White Chocolate: Add the white chocolate chips to the warm milk mixture, stirring continuously until the chocolate fully melts and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- Add Flavorings: Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to deepen and enhance the overall flavor of the cocoa.
- Serve: Pour the finished Frosty Mornings White Christmas Cocoa into mugs, preparing it for topping.
- Add Whipped Cream: Top each mug generously with a swirl of whipped cream to add creaminess and height to your drink.
- Garnish with Snowy Toppings: Sprinkle shredded coconut flakes and white chocolate shavings or mini marshmallows over the whipped cream to create a festive, snowy appearance.
- Optional Powdered Sugar Dusting: Lightly dust with powdered sugar for an extra frosty and decorative finish.
Notes
- Use your preferred type of milk for dietary needs or taste preference—whole milk gives the richest flavor, but alternatives like almond or oat milk can be used.
- Be careful not to let the milk mixture boil to prevent scorching or curdling.
- White chocolate chips melt more smoothly, but chopped white chocolate bars work equally well.
- Adjust sweetness by choosing toppings like mini marshmallows or additional white chocolate shavings.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream and milk with coconut cream and plant-based milk.
