Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 10 oz white chocolate chips or a mix of white and milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tsp red food coloring

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Sturdy whisk
  • Ladle
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Whipped cream for topping

Method
 

  1. Heat the milk and heavy cream in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until steaming and bubbling.
  2. Reduce heat to medium-low, add sugar and white chocolate chips, and whisk until smooth and silky (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and add red food coloring until the desired shade is achieved.
  4. Ladle into mugs and top with whipped cream and optional toppings like marshmallows or crushed peppermint.

Notes

High-quality white chocolate chips enhance the smoothness of the drink. Avoid those with a waxy texture. Feel free to adjust the sweetness by using less sugar or substituting with semi-sweet chocolate. You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove to preserve texture. This drink is perfect for various occasions, from holiday gatherings to cozy movie nights!
