Description
This White Hot Chocolate is rich, velvety, and perfectly sweet, made with real white chocolate and warm milk. Flavored with vanilla and topped with whipped cream or marshmallows, it’s a dreamy alternative to classic cocoa — easy to make and endlessly customizable.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (400 ml) can full-fat coconut milk
- ¼ cup oat milk (or almond milk)
- 1½ tablespoons grated cocoa butter
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon coconut butter
- ½ teaspoon Ceylon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla powder
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk and oat or almond milk. Warm gently over medium-low heat until heated through but not boiling.
- Add the grated cocoa butter and stir until fully melted and incorporated.
- Whisk in the maple syrup, coconut butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla powder, and a pinch of sea salt. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and steamy.
- Pour into mugs and top with oat whip or coconut whipped cream. For an extra touch, sprinkle with beet powder, pink pitaya powder, and a dash of cinnamon, if desired.
Notes
- Use High-Quality White Chocolate: Real white chocolate (with cocoa butter) melts smoother and gives a richer flavor.
- Dairy-Free: Use almond, oat, or coconut milk and dairy-free white chocolate.
- Add Flavor: Try peppermint extract, cinnamon, or a splash of coffee liqueur for a twist.
- Frozen Version: Blend with ice for a white chocolate frappe in warmer months.
