Ingredients

1/2 cup heavy cream
6 ounces white chocolate, preferably two ounces each of different brands, like Lindt, Valrhona, Callebaut, Nestle Premier, Ghirardelli or Baker's
3/4 cup milk
6 fresh mint leaves plus 1 or 2 sprigs for garnish

Whip cream and refrigerate. Chill 2 10- to 12-ounce goblets, or 1 20-ounce goblet.
Break up chocolate, place in heavy saucepan over very low heat and stir until melted. Remove from heat and whisk in half the milk until well-blended.
Place remaining milk in blender with chocolate mixture, mint leaves and 2 cups ice. Blend at high speed until smooth and frothy and ice is pulverized. Pour into goblets, top with whipped cream, mint sprigs and optional cherries, candy canes or sprinkles. Serve at once.
