Ingredients

3 1/2 cups whole milk
½ cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
whipped cream optional
marshmallows, sprinkles, etc for garnish

Instructions

In a saucepan, add in your 3 1/2 cups whole milk, ½ cup heavy cream, 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Place over medium heat and stir occasionally until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the hot chocolate is smooth and creamy.
Add in the 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and stir until combined.
Pour the hot white chocolate into 4 cups and serve with whipped cream.

Notes

You can replace the 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips with 9 ounces white baking chocolate. Be sure to chop it into small pieces to speed up the melting process.
If a skin or film forms on the top of the hot chocolate while it’s in the pan, turn the heat on low and whisk until smooth again.
For an even thicker consistency, replace an additional 1 to 1 1/2 cups of the milk with heavy cream or half and half.
