Ingredients
- 1-½ cup Whole Milk
- ½ cups Half-and-half
- 6 ounces, weight Good Quality Milk Chocolate (Do Not Use Bittersweet)
- 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon Peppermint Extract
- Optional Garnish: Whipped Cream, Peppermint Sticks
Preparation Instructions
Begin by heating the whole milk and half and half on low heat in a heavy duty saucepan. While heating, chop the milk chocolate. It doesn’t need to be finely chopped, but small enough that it will melt easily.
Once the milk mixture begins to steam, add the chopped milk chocolate and stir or whisk until completely melted and incorporated. Finally, add the vanilla and peppermint extracts and stir.
Ladle into mugs and dollop whipped cream on top. Serve with a peppermint stick for fun. Makes 3 small servings or 2 large servings.
Enjoy!
