Hot, Hot – Oh, We Got It!

Every time I serve hot chocolate I can’t help but think of the Hot Chocolate song from Polar Express! It’s catchy and is guaranteed to be stuck in your head for hours 🙂

Snow days call for hot chocolate, and after our first snow day of the year I whipped up this homemade Minty White Hot Chocolate and it was a hit!

Store-bought hot chocolate gets it done quickly and effortlessly, but if you ask me, homemade hot chocolate is so much more rich and satisfying.

The first homemade cocoa recipe I tried used cocoa powder, chocolate bits, sugar and more! It was heaven in a cup.

Since I’ve discovered just how easy it is to make at home, it will be hard to go back to the store bought packets!.

I hope that you now have the Hot Chocolate song in your head and are inspired to make this yummy treat!

Make it a Meal!

The beauty of Minty White Hot Chocolate is it can be enjoyed as a drink AND a dessert. Here are some sweet dishes that would shine alongside it.

How to: Make Minty White Hot Chocolate

Minty White Hot Chocolate is an easy drink to whip up after a fun-filled day out in the snow!

With only 4 ingredients, you’ll have a hot pot of this luscious drink ready on your stovetop in minutes. It doesn’t get any easier than this, folks!

In a cooking pot over medium heat, simmer heavy cream, milk, and mint extract. Stir regularly to keep the milk from burning.

After about 5 minutes you should have a gentle simmer. You want the drink warm but not too hot to drink. The ideal temperature is around 150°F for kiddos and 175° for adults for a hotter drink.

Once simmering, add in the white chocolate melts and stir until they are fully incorporated. Remove from heat.

Pour the minty white hot chocolate into individual glasses and top with whipped cream, mint chocolate pieces, and marshmallows for an extra special treat!

    Hot chocolate is one of my favorite things to drink during the winter. I always buy the white hot chocolate from Starbucks and I’m always so curious about how to make a version of it

  2. White hot chocolate is my favourite hot drink! I make it every winter! I can’t have lactose so I usually make it with coconut milk (although I may try coconut cream now!). But I’ve never thought to make it with mint so I’m definitely going to have to try that!

    Love this white hot chocolate! It is so easy to make and it is so delicious. Perfect treat to warm up on a cold snowy day.

  4. You are speaking my language with this minty drink! I am such a sucker for a mint hot chocolate or mocha during the winter. I’ll have to try out this recipe soon 🙂

  5. Yes please. This is just what the doctor ordered; except I wont be able to enjoy it. I am trying to exercise a vegan free diet for as long as I can, so I have basically tortured myself by coming here. But.. thank you – like I say the family will love it xxx
