Ingredients
Hot Chocolate Base
- 1 cup half n half
- 3 cups 2% milk
- 1 1/3 cups white chocolate chips
Toppings and Garnishes
- Whipped cream
- Blue sprinkles
- Corn syrup
Instructions
- Heat the Chocolate Mixture: In a saucepan over low heat, combine the half n half, 2% milk, and white chocolate chips. Whisk frequently, being careful not to let the mixture boil. Continue whisking until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is hot and smooth.
- Prepare the Mug Rims: Pour blue sprinkles onto a small shallow plate. Dip the rim of each mug lightly into corn syrup, then dip the sticky rim into the sprinkles, twisting the mug to coat evenly.
- Assemble and Serve: Pour the hot white chocolate mixture into the prepared mugs. Top each with a generous swirl of whipped cream and a sprinkle of blue sprinkles for garnish. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Stir constantly while heating to avoid scorching the milk or burning the chocolate.
- Do not allow the mixture to boil, as this can cause the dairy to separate.
- Use high-quality white chocolate chips for best flavor and smooth texture.
- Corn syrup helps the sprinkles stick to the mug rim, but honey or simple syrup can be used as alternatives.
- For a richer flavor, substitute half of the 2% milk with whole milk or cream.
