Ingredients

3 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup white chocolate chips
0.5 teaspoons peppermint extract
1 for topping (optional) whipped cream
2 tablespoons for garnish (optional) crushed peppermint candies

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine whole milk and heavy cream.

Step 2

Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent scalding, until it is hot but not boiling (about 5–7 minutes).

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the white chocolate chips. Continue stirring until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the peppermint extract. Taste and add more peppermint extract if a stronger flavor is desired, but be cautious as peppermint extract is very potent.

Step 5

Pour the hot chocolate into mugs and top with whipped cream, if desired.

Step 6

Garnish with crushed peppermint candies for a festive touch and serve immediately.
