White Chocolate Peppermint Cocoa
White Chocolate Peppermint Cocoa
adapted from Practically Functional
- 2 C milk
- 1/2 C white chocolate chips
- 1/4 tsp peppermint extract
- whipped cream
- candy canes (1 for the recipe itself, 2 for garnishes on the finished drinks, and some to crush and sprinkle on top of the whipped cream or 3 Tbsp of crushed candy canes and extra for garnish)
- Add the milk, chocolate chips, and one candy cane to a small saucepan. Turn the heat on to medium-high and cook until the milk heats up and the candy cane and chocolate chips melt. Stir often and make sure the milk doesn’t boil!
- Once everything is melted and the milk is hot, remove the hot chocolate from the heat and stir in the peppermint extract.
- Pour the hot chocolate into mugs. Top with whipped cream and a few crushed peppermint pieces, and garnish each drink with a candy cane
