Homemade White Hot Chocolate Recipe – how to make the best easy creamy DIY warming 3 ingredient white chocolate dessert drink inspired by Starbucks – with the video tutorial.

Homemade White Hot Chocolate

This easy homemade white hot chocolate makes the perfect, warming drink that’s created by combining together rich heavy cream, milk and of course – sweet white chocolate.

I’m a huge lover of all things white chocolate, enjoying it by the bar or block, mixed into white chocolate cookies or this comforting drink that I indulge in all year around, but especially during the winter season as an indulgent treat.

How To Make The Easy Warming Drink Recipe

The 3 simple ingredients for the easy recipe including heavy cream and whole milk

Start by gathering the simple ingredients for the easy recipe:

1 Cup Milk
2 Tablespoons Heavy Cream
25g-50g/0.88-1.76oz White Chocolate

You simply need to combine all three ingredients into a small saucepan, then place it on the stove top over medium heat and cook, stirring continuously, until the easy white hot chocolate recipe just starts to simmer.

The way to get the perfect amount of milk and cream is to pour it out into your chosen mug first and then pour it from there into the small saucepan. That way, once it’s warmed up and poured back into the mug you have the exact amount needed to fill your mug right to the top.

Heating the 3 ingredients together in a small saucepan on the stove top

Include whole milk, almond milk, oat milk, coconut milk or any other milk that you usually enjoy as part of your diet in the homemade hot chocolate.

You can use a white chocolate bar, as I have done, a row from a block of cooking white chocolate or white chocolate chips in the recipe. Using as little or as much as you’d like, depending on how much of a rich white chocolate flavor you’d like. If you’re using chocolate chips, then a 1/4 of a cup is the perfect amount.

Feel free to add in a half a teaspoon to a teaspoon of vanilla extract, or your flavor of choice, depending on how you’d like your hot chocolate to taste.

Pouring white hot chocolate from the small saucepan into the mug

Once the hot chocolate has reached bubbling point, remove it from the heat straight away and pour it out into your mug.

You can enjoy the sweet treat as it’s served or top your mug with mini marshmallows, candy canes, whipped cream or grated chocolate.
