Candy-Cane Hot Cocoa image

Dress your hot cocoa up in something festive, like candy canes perhaps! Heat a pan of milk with chopped white chocolate and a bit of peppermint extract. Whisk it until it's thick and frothy, then top with a dollop of whipped cream and a candy-cane garnish-we hear that's customary at the North Pole.

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

32 ounces whole milk or oat milk
6 ounces white chocolate, chopped (1/4 cup)
Pinch of kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
Unsweetened whipped cream and candy canes or peppermint sticks, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat milk and white chocolate in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Continue cooking, whisking constantly, until very hot, thick, and frothy, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Remove from heat; whisk in peppermint extract. Transfer to cups or mugs, dollop with whipped cream, and serve with candy canes (the candy serves as a stirring stick and also slowly dissolves into the hot cocoa, adding more peppermint flavor as you sip and repeat).
