- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Toppings (Optional)
- Whipped cream for topping
- White chocolate shavings or sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the milk and cream: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk and heavy cream. Warm the mixture until it is steaming but not boiling, taking care to stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
- Melt the white chocolate: Add the white chocolate chips to the hot milk and cream mixture. Whisk continuously until the chocolate has fully melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy without any lumps.

Notes
- For a richer and creamier drink, substitute half-and-half for the whole milk.
- Use good-quality white chocolate chips or finely chopped white chocolate bars for the best flavor and smoothest texture.
