Gingerbread White Hot Chocolate

| by

Chocolate will always have a special place in my heart and on my waistline, but white chocolate? Oh lord…I cannot help myself. I rarely keep any in the house for this reason. I’m not even going to pretend be all humble about this gingerbread white hot chocolate; it is stinking lick-the-cup-dry delicious. I went off of my dairy-free diet for one day JUST for this drink!
When creating most recipes, I typically shoot from the hip, wing it, and hope it turns out well. The good ones I share with you; the bad ones go down the drain. This gingerbread white hot chocolate was actually “commissioned” by my sweet friend, Lindsay, to include with a mug purchase from her shop. With a special request like this, I tested several versions of this drink until I felt it was perfect. (I pretended I was part America’s Test Kitchen and got a little mad scientist with it.)
Oh friends, if you have in-laws coming in town and want to impress them, just make this the evening they arrive. Worth every penny. Cross my heart. (You might even add a little splash of Bailey’s for your own special little mug…I promise not to tell.)

GINGERBREAD  WHITE  HOT  CHOCOLATE

Ingredients:
2 cups whole milk
2 cups half & half
1 cup Ghiradelli (or other high quality) white chocolate chips
2 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions:
Over medium heat, combine half & half and white chocolate in a saucepan. Whisk continually until chocolate is melted. Add remaining ingredients and stir frequently until heated through. (Milk should be steaming, but not boiling.) Top with whipped cream and sprinkles. Curl up in a snuggly blanket and enjoy!

The adorable mug was created by my friend and favorite letterer, Lindsay. You can buy one at her shop right here. Since this recipe was actually created for these mugs, you get a cute little recipe card included when you order one.
