Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.75 cups white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
- 1 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
- 1 as desired whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, combine the whole milk and heavy cream.
Add the sliced fresh ginger to the saucepan and gently heat the mixture until it begins to steam, but do not let it boil. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
Reduce the heat to low and let the ginger steep in the milk mixture for 5 minutes. This allows the ginger flavor to infuse into the liquid.
Using a fine mesh strainer, carefully strain the milk mixture to remove the ginger slices. Return the liquid to the saucepan on low heat.
Stir in the white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate. Whisk constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract and stir well to combine.
Remove the saucepan from heat and pour the hot white chocolate into mugs.
If desired, top each mug with whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, warming flavors of this hot white chocolate with ginger!
