A delicious warm mug of this easy, jazzed-up hot chocolate is perfect for taking the chill off on a cold winter day. Regular hot cocoa can be found everywhere. But why not change things up a little bit and use white chocolate to make hot chocolate instead? It’s pretty and festive, and it happens to taste amazing too.
Ingredients needed:
whipping cream peppermint candies or candy canes milk white chocolate peppermint extract
How to make White Chocolate and Peppermint Hot Chocolate:
Make the peppermint whipped cream:
Use an electric mixer to whip the whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Stir in crushed peppermint candy.
Make the white hot chocolate:
Simmer milk on the stove in a saucepan. Add white chocolate and let it melt. Mix it in to combine. Stir in peppermint extract too.
Divide the white hot chocolate between four mugs. I personally really love our glass mugs because they are so pretty for displaying beverages! Top with a little bit of the peppermint whipped cream. Add more crushed peppermint candies on top.
Add a candy cane for garnish, if you’d like. The bonus about that is that when you’re done drinking your white chocolate and peppermint hot chocolate, you will have a candy cane to eat as well. Enjoy!
