Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups whole milk (or your preferred milk)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup mini marshmallows
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Powdered sugar (for a ‘snowy’ finish)
- Mini marshmallows or large marshmallow ‘snowflakes’ (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, warm the milk and heavy cream over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Do not let it boil.
- Once the milk is hot, add the white chocolate chips and mini marshmallows, stirring until completely melted and smooth. Add the vanilla extract, stirring gently to blend the flavors.
- Pour the cocoa into mugs, filling each about 3/4 full. Top with a swirl of whipped cream, then dust lightly with powdered sugar for a ‘snowy’ look. Add a few more mini marshmallows or large marshmallow snowflakes if desired.
Notes
For a fun twist, serve with candy canes. This cocoa is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to three days.
