  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Liquid Ingredients

  • 1 cup half n half
  • 3 cups 2% milk
  • 1 fingertip corn syrup for mug rims

Main Flavor Ingredient

  • 1 1/3 cups white chocolate chips

Toppings

  • Whipped cream, for serving
  • Blue sprinkles, for decoration

Instructions

  1. Heat the Base: In a saucepan over low heat, combine the half n half, 2% milk, and white chocolate chips. Whisk frequently, ensuring the mixture does not boil. Continue whisking until all the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is hot and smooth.
  2. Prepare Mug Rims: Pour blue sprinkles onto a small shallow plate. Using a fingertip, spread a thin layer of corn syrup around the rims of the mugs. Dip the rims into the sprinkles and gently twist to coat evenly, creating a decorative edge.
  3. Assemble and Serve: Pour the hot white chocolate into the prepared mugs. Top each serving with a generous swirl of whipped cream, then sprinkle additional blue sprinkles on top for a festive finish. Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy treat.

Notes

  • Do not allow the mixture to boil as this can cause the milk to scorch and the chocolate to seize.
  • Using a low heat and constant whisking ensures a smooth and creamy texture without lumps.
  • For a vegan version, substitute with plant-based milk and white chocolate alternatives.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of white chocolate chips according to your taste preference.
  • Blue sprinkles add a fun, decorative touch but can be replaced with any color or left out.
