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!

ReplyDeletethis looks divine!! Can't wait to try it! (I think you forgot the vanilla step in the directions.) Thanks for the great recipe!
ReplyDelete:)
YUM! I agree with Dharma - beautiful presentation!
ReplyDeleteIt's there Anonymous, in step one! And thanks so much!!
ReplyDeleteSounds 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.
ReplyDeleteSounds YUMMY! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE some of this!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous and oh, so, so slurp-able! I want it! I love white chocolate, so much.
ReplyDeleteyum.. 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.
ReplyDeleteMy kids would love this! Especially with sprinkles. :)
ReplyDeleteThis couldn't be more perfect for this blog...I love the mug!
ReplyDeleteLooks so so good and I love the sprinkles on top.
ReplyDeleteit's a windy day! i definitely need some hot cocoa!
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious - could go one of these right now :)
ReplyDeleteMmmhhh, sinful! That is something I haven't yet tried...
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Rosa
Looks heavenly! Thinking peppermint white chocolate would work well too... Yummy! Thx!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteWhite, 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!
ReplyDeletemmmmmm yes yes yes! I am such a lover of white chocolate (over milk!) This looks sooo good..bookmarking and sharing this one!
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite hot drink! Looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteThis 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
ReplyDeleteLove this especially for those of us who prefer vanilla over chocolate. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI definitely need to load this with whipped cream to balance it out! Of course your photo is perfect:-)
ReplyDeleteThis 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.
ReplyDeleteI don't eat/drink white chocolate, but dang does this look good. :)
ReplyDeleteHave 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 :)
ReplyDeleteOh my GOSH I can't even take this. I want!
ReplyDeleteQue ricura... chocolate blanco caliente, una tentación golosa golosa!
ReplyDeleteIt's to gorgeous to eat Heather!!!
ReplyDeleteWant. Need. Yes a need for certain! Just gorgeous my dear!
ReplyDeleteI want to chug this. Love the super-white photo with the rainbow sprinkles. Just lovely!
ReplyDeleteooh 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! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks Fab! Must try!
ReplyDeleteThis drinks makes me happy!!
ReplyDeleteI love love white hot chocolate
ReplyDeleteIt looks so good it almost seems artificial! Can all this goodness be true? Have a great getaway!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous - I'm bookmarking this post for next Christmas!
ReplyDeleteJust looking at the pretty sprinkles -- and thinking about the chocolate -- makes me happy!
ReplyDeleteche ricetta deliziosa! complimenti, un bacio :)
ReplyDeleteGOrgeous and yummy. My favorite combo.
ReplyDeleteI have been looking for a recipe like this for a long time, thank you.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Wish I could reach into your pictures and try some right now!!!
ReplyDeletethis looks soooo delicious...and I have just given up chocolate for Lent!! :(
ReplyDeleteThis looks almost too good to be true!! I'd have to add a bit of pink food coloring to it, of course :) Love it!!!
ReplyDeleteI just melted a little when I saw that mug of beautifulness! What a great recipe!
ReplyDeleteThis looks soo good. I love the little sprinkles on top! Cute. I am definitely trying this soon.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous and sounds fantastic! And look at you lightening up the recipe for us... so exciting!! :) Can't wait to try this!
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog via Pinterest. So glad I did. Your food looks delish and your pictures are awesome. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI 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 absolutely satisfying. Thanks for the adorable whiteout chocolate recipe ;)
ReplyDeleteThis 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!
ReplyDeleteexcuse me, I'm italian and I don't understand very well the english.
ReplyDeletewhat do you mean "2 cups fat-free half and half"? what is fat- free?
your blog is wonderful :D
Freakin' yummm! It's snowing here in Michigan... and I think I'll need to warm up by making me a mug(s) of this!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect idea, especially since we're having a snowy day here in Michigan.
ReplyDeletethis looks delicious & so pretty with those sprinkles....lovely
ReplyDeletehave a lovely weekend xx
Love the picture :)
ReplyDeleteI have a serious crush on your blog so I had to write a blog post about it:) Check it out.
ReplyDeleteHope you like
xx
love the picture! i love how no one really thinks about making hot cocoa with white chocolate?
ReplyDeleteOK, I am a dark/milk chocolate girl but this looks too delicious to pass up! And of course I just love the sprinkles on top :)
ReplyDeleteI will have to surprise my husband with this! He makes himself some cocoa practically every night, and this would be a fun alternative to the dark version! Thanks Heather! It looks so pretty too:)
ReplyDeleteyumm! yes please!!
ReplyDeleteYippie!!! It is hard to ever find a white hot chocolate..this looks DIVINE! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteSimply wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful and brilliant idea! My daughter would love this!
ReplyDeleteYUM! This looks much tastier than the white hot chocolate version I've been using in the past. It was mostly milk and sugar. The addition of white chocolate is a much better idea! I bet my family would love this! I think it's supposed to snow tomorrow, maybe we'll find out what they think.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome I have to try!
