Ingredients

2 cups whole milk

1 cup heavy cream

8 oz white chocolate, finely chopped

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp salt

Whipped cream (for topping)

Mini marshmallows (for topping)

A sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium-low heat until hot, but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.

Once the milk mixture is hot, remove it from the heat and add the finely chopped white chocolate. Let it sit for about 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften.

Whisk the mixture until the white chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, mixing well to incorporate all the flavors.

If desired, use a frother or whisk to create some froth in the hot chocolate for added texture.

Pour the white hot chocolate into mugs, and top generously with whipped cream.

Add mini marshmallows and, if desired, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg on top for the finishing touch.
