Ingredients
Scale
Hot Chocolate:
- 1 cup half n half
- 3 cups 2% milk
- 1 1/3 cups white chocolate chips
Toppings and Garnish:
- Whipped cream, as needed
- Blue sprinkles, as needed
- Corn syrup, for rimming mugs
Instructions
- Heat the Base: In a saucepan over low heat, combine the half n half, 2% milk, and white chocolate chips. Whisk frequently and carefully to avoid boiling. Continue whisking until the white chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
- Prepare Mug Rims: Pour some blue sprinkles onto a small, shallow plate. Lightly brush the rims of your mugs with a fingertip of corn syrup, then dip the rims into the sprinkles, twisting to ensure an even coat.
- Serve: Pour the hot chocolate into the prepared mugs. Top each with a generous swirl of whipped cream and sprinkle additional blue sprinkles on top for a festive finish.
Notes
- Do not allow the hot chocolate mixture to boil, as this can cause the milk to scorch or the chocolate to seize.
- For a thicker and richer texture, you can increase the amount of white chocolate chips slightly.
- Feel free to substitute blue sprinkles with any color of your choice to match the occasion.
- Use high-quality white chocolate chips for the best flavor and smoothest texture.
- The corn syrup on the rims serves as an adhesive to make the sprinkles stick and adds a subtle sweetness.
