Caramelized White Hot Chocolate

This Caramelized White Hot Chocolate is a decadent, rich, and velvety drink with a deep caramel flavor that elevates classic white hot chocolate. Perfect for cozy nights or as a luxurious treat!

Ingredients:

  • 4 oz white chocolate (chopped into small pieces)
  • 2 cups whole milk (or milk of your choice)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional, for extra richness)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: whipped cream, caramel drizzle, or a sprinkle of cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Caramelize the White Chocolate:

    • Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Spread the chopped white chocolate evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
    • Place in the oven and bake for 20-30 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until the white chocolate turns golden brown and develops a caramel-like aroma. Be careful not to burn it.

  2. Heat the Milk and Cream:

    • In a medium saucepan, heat the milk and cream over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching. Do not let it boil.

  3. Combine with the Caramelized Chocolate:

    • Remove the caramelized white chocolate from the oven and add it to the warm milk mixture. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

  4. Add Flavorings:

    • Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.

  5. Serve:

    • Pour the hot chocolate into mugs. Top with whipped cream, drizzle with caramel, or sprinkle with cinnamon for a festive touch.

Tips:

  • Non-Dairy Option: Use almond milk or oat milk, and replace the heavy cream with coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
  • Enhance the Flavor: Add a teaspoon of espresso powder or a pinch of nutmeg for a twist.
  • Storage: If you have leftovers, refrigerate them in a sealed container. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.

This Caramelized White Hot Chocolate is sure to become a favorite for cold-weather indulgence. Would you like to pair it with a dessert suggestion?
