INGREDIENTS
Ingredients for 4 cups: Whole milk 3 cups (800 g); White chocolate ½ cup (75 g); Sugar 2 tbsp (25 g); Cornstarch 5 tbsp (35 g)

Microwave preparation

To make hot white chocolate, start by grating the bar of white chocolate with a fine grater so that it is as fine as possible 1. Place the grated chocolate in a bowl, add the sugar 2 and the corn starch 3.

Stir the powders 4: you now have the base for 4 mugs of hot chocolate. Now prepare one mug at a time. Add around 1 oz (28 g) of the powder mixture 5 to one mug and gently temper 1 cup of milk cold from the refrigerator, then gradually pour it into the mug 6.

Stir with a spoon to obtain a homogeneous mixture, free from lumps 7. Now heat the mug in the microwave for around 2 minutes at 900 W; pause every 40 seconds and stir the mixture. In this way you will obtain a thick and creamy consistency 8. Enjoy your hot white chocolate right away 9!

Preparation on the stove

To make hot white chocolate on the stove, you'll need to prepare the same powder mixture as the one used in the microwave version: grate a bar of white chocolate with a fine grater so that it is as fine as possible 1. Place the grated chocolate in a bowl, add the sugar 2 and the corn starch 3.

Stir the powders 4: you now have the base for making 4 cups of hot chocolate. Place the milk in a saucepan 5 and heat on a low flame 6, then gradually add the chocolate powder mixture 6.

Stir with a whisk 7 to obtain a homogeneous mixture, free from lumps. Continue cooking on a low flame, stirring the mixture all the while, until the chocolate thickens, which will take around 5 minutes. Once the hot chocolate is ready 8, remove from the flame and pour into the mugs. Enjoy your hot white chocolate right away 9!

Storage

White hot chocolate is best enjoyed freshly made. It can also be stored in a sealed tin for around a month, away from light and heat sources. You can replace the corn starch with potato starch, although both have different thickening properties. Potato starch will create a more pudding-like consistency, if you prefer you can add just half of the recommended amount of corn starch!

Tips

Looking to add an aromatic touch to your hot white chocolate? Add some cinnamon powder or garnish with some dark chocolate shards or chopped hazelnuts. If you want you can replace the white chocolate with dark chocolate: use the following amounts for one mug: 1 cups of milk, 1.7 oz of dark chocolate, 0.3 oz of unsweetened cocoa powder, 0.3 oz of corn starch and 0.3 oz of sugar.
