Notes
I created this recipe as a single-serve white hot chocolate. But you can easily double or triple this recipe to make enough of this delicious drink to go around!
If this white hot chocolate isn’t sweet enough for you, feel free to add more white chocolate or some additional sweetener. White sugar, brown sugar, and even maple syrup would all work well.
Of course, you can easily swap out the white chocolate in this recipe for dark chocolate or milk chocolate to create a traditional hot chocolate. Or you can check out my super-easy, decadent homemade hot chocolate recipe!
