This easy-to-follow recipe promises a rich, velvety beverage that will warm your soul and satisfy your sweet tooth.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 6 cups whole milk
• 12 ounces white chocolate, chopped or in chips
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• Dark chocolate, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare Dark Chocolate Shavings:
   Using a vegetable peeler, shave dark chocolate into curls; set aside.

2. Melt White Chocolate:
   Place white chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl; set aside.

3. Heat Milk and Cream:
   In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, combine milk and heavy cream. Heat until bubbles start to form around the edges of the pan, but do not let it boil. This should take about 4 minutes.

4. Remove from Heat:
   Once the bubbles appear, remove the mixture from the heat immediately to prevent boiling.

5. Combine with White Chocolate:
   Pour the hot milk and cream mixture over the white chocolate in the heat-proof bowl. Allow the chocolate to melt for a moment.

6. Stir to Combine:
   Gently stir the mixture until the white chocolate is completely melted and well combined with the milk and cream.

7. Add Vanilla Extract:
   Whisk in the pure vanilla extract until fully incorporated into the mixture.

8. Create Foam:
   Continue whisking the hot chocolate until a light foam forms on top, adding to the luxurious texture.

9. Serve Warm:
   Once ready, pour the white hot chocolate into cups and serve immediately to enjoy its comforting warmth.

10. Garnish:
    Sprinkle the prepared dark chocolate shavings over the top of each serving to add a touch of elegance and a hint of rich chocolate flavor.

Tips:

• For an extra indulgent twist, consider topping your white hot chocolate with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
• Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less white chocolate according to your taste preference.
• Serve alongside your favorite holiday cookies or biscuits for a delightful treat.
• Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated gently on the stove or in the microwave when ready to enjoy again.
