I'm not going to lie, I'm a sucker for a warm holiday beverage. Always a fan of white chocolate and peppermint alike (also, they were both in my cupboard), I thought these two ingredients combined would make for a pretty festive drink.
Ingredients- 1 box (6 squares) white bakers chocolate
- 1 L (4 cups) milk
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 6 candy canes, (plus 6 more for stir sticks if desired)
Directions
Crush 6 of the candy canes (I threw them all in a Ziplock freezer bag and crushed them with the bottom of a cup).
Whip the cream using a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
Shave 1 square of chocolate (for topping) and set aside.
Melt remaining chocolate in saucepan over medium heat. Add milk and stir until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Add crushed candy canes (reserve 1 tbsp for sprinkling) and mix until melted. Pour into a mug.
Add whipping cream & top with sprinkle of remaining crushed candy cane and white chocolate shavings. Serve with candy cane stir stick.
Serves 6.
Enjoy!
