Peppermint White Hot Chocolate Recipe

This recipe from Sugar & Cloth is the easiest thing you’ll whip up all winter long. It only takes 5 seconds of your attention, a slow cooker and you’re all set!

MS4A8289.png

Ingredients:

  • 6 cups of almond milk

  • 2 cups of whipping cream

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  • 1 (12 ounce) package white chocolate chips

  • 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract

  • Whipped cream (optional)

  • Champagne marshmallows for garnish

Combine the whipping cream, milk, vanilla, peppermint, and white chocolate chips in a slow cooker. On medium to low heat, let it set for 2.5 hours in the slow cooker, stirring it occasionally making sure all of the chips are melted.

Once finished, serve with whipped cream and a champagne marshmallow on top for the garnish, or you can cut the calories of the whipped cream and just add a marshmallow, it looks (and tastes!) great either way.
