This post will be short and sweet since I’m going out of town for a few days, but I couldn’t let another day pass without sharing this recipe!
This is an absolutely delicious white chocolate cocoa, and it couldn’t be easier to make. The original recipe uses full-fat ingredients, but I’ve lightened it up a bit. So feel free to go crazy with copious amounts of whipped cream or even giant oven-toasted marshmallows.
I won’t tell.
Whiteout Cocoa
8-10 servings [click for printable version]
6 cups skim milk
2 cups fat-free half and half
12 oz. package white chocolate chips (I used Ghiradelli)
1 tablespoon vanilla
Whipped cream and nonpareils for topping
1. Place skim milk, half and half, vanilla and white chocolate chips in a large pot, and place over medium heat. Stir occasionally until chocolate chips begin to melt, then reduce heat to medium-low.
2. Cook, stirring occasionally until mixture is very hot and chips are melted. Divide mixture between mugs and top with whipped cream and sprinkles. Serve immediately.
Note: If the mixture is left for very long at room temperature, the fat from the white chocolate will rise to the surface. Be sure to gently re-heat the mixture a give it a good stir before serving!
Muy interesante y muy bonito presentado. Un saludo
this looks divine!! Can't wait to try it! (I think you forgot the vanilla step in the directions.) Thanks for the great recipe!
🙂
YUM! I agree with Dharma – beautiful presentation!
It's there Anonymous, in step one! And thanks so much!!
Sounds like a fantastic idea, Heather! I'm a huge fan of cocoa and have a mug everyday after dinner…every single day! This would be a nice idea to change up that routine a bit.
Sounds YUMMY! Thanks for sharing!
I would LOVE some of this!
Gorgeous and oh, so, so slurp-able! I want it! I love white chocolate, so much.
yum.. this is going to be a snack for me some night this week after a long day! I can't wait for you to come out with a cook book.. and where did you get this glass mug? You are amazing girl.
My kids would love this! Especially with sprinkles. 🙂
This couldn't be more perfect for this blog…I love the mug!
Looks so so good and I love the sprinkles on top.
it's a windy day! i definitely need some hot cocoa!
This looks delicious – could go one of these right now 🙂
Mmmhhh, sinful! That is something I haven't yet tried…
Cheers,
Rosa
Looks heavenly! Thinking peppermint white chocolate would work well too… Yummy! Thx!
This is beautiful!!
White, warm and whipped- my dream hot chocolate! I've been playing with white chips here all week and can't wait to give this a go with some of my leftovers!
mmmmmm yes yes yes! I am such a lover of white chocolate (over milk!) This looks sooo good..bookmarking and sharing this one!
This is my favorite hot drink! Looks lovely.
This is SO going on my menu for this Friday night with friends! I think it would be the perfect accompaniment to serve with my mini chocolate molten lava cakes. Sugar rush here we come! xo ~Lili
Love this especially for those of us who prefer vanilla over chocolate. Yum!
I definitely need to load this with whipped cream to balance it out! Of course your photo is perfect:-)
This sounds fabulous, and I love that it uses lighter ingredients, unlike most hot cocoa recipes. I may have a way to use up some of my leftover white chocolate from truffles I made for my cousin's wedding.
I don't eat/drink white chocolate, but dang does this look good. 🙂
Have fun on your trip out of town 🙂
SO glad you shared this recipe before you left! I love White Chocolate Hot Cocoa, and I especially love how you lightened it up. Have fun on your trip 🙂
Oh my GOSH I can't even take this. I want!
Que ricura… chocolate blanco caliente, una tentación golosa golosa!
It's to gorgeous to eat Heather!!!
Want. Need. Yes a need for certain! Just gorgeous my dear!
I want to chug this. Love the super-white photo with the rainbow sprinkles. Just lovely!
ooh a local place has white hot chocolate with lavender, and I've never been able to find white cocoa mix (dunno whyit didn't occur to me to make it)… so I think I may have to try this over the weekend! 🙂
Looks Fab! Must try!
This drinks makes me happy!!
I love love white hot chocolate
It looks so good it almost seems artificial! Can all this goodness be true? Have a great getaway!
Gorgeous – I'm bookmarking this post for next Christmas!
Just looking at the pretty sprinkles — and thinking about the chocolate — makes me happy!
che ricetta deliziosa! complimenti, un bacio 🙂
GOrgeous and yummy. My favorite combo.
I have been looking for a recipe like this for a long time, thank you.
Beautiful! Wish I could reach into your pictures and try some right now!!!
this looks soooo delicious…and I have just given up chocolate for Lent!! 🙁
This looks almost too good to be true!! I'd have to add a bit of pink food coloring to it, of course 🙂 Love it!!!
I just melted a little when I saw that mug of beautifulness! What a great recipe!
This looks soo good. I love the little sprinkles on top! Cute. I am definitely trying this soon.
This is gorgeous and sounds fantastic! And look at you lightening up the recipe for us… so exciting!! 🙂 Can't wait to try this!
Just found your blog via Pinterest. So glad I did. Your food looks delish and your pictures are awesome. Good job!
I regrettably admit that I've never had a white hot chocolate…it's always been the traditional version or Mexican hot chocolate. Your recipe looks delicious and I like that you use the Ghirardeli white chocolate chips – I'm addicted to those things, and I always have a bag of them here! For Christmas, my friend got a milk frother (literally the sole purpose of this thing is to make milk foamy…at first I was skeptical but it's actually quite brilliant). If you have never used one of these bad boys, I highly suggest it – they make lattes and hot chocolate… Read more »
This looks fabulous!!!! I don't think I've ever had a white chocolate, and I've never had a hot chocolate that looks this good! I love the sprinkles on top!
