This is a grown-up hot chocolate, although you don't have to use the brandy. A good quality bittersweet dark chocolate can be substituted for the white chocolate if that's your preference. Ingredients:
2 cups whole milk |
2 cups half-and-half cream |
1/2 lb good-quality white chocolate (coarsely chop into chunks) |
2 tablespoons white sugar |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
2 ounces brandy |
Directions:
1. In a heavy saucepan, heat milk and cream over medium-low heat for five minutes.
2. Add chocolate chunks to hot milk mixture, then stir in sugar and vanilla; keep stirring, gently, until chocolate melts.
3. Remove from heat and stir in brandy.
4. Serve in prewarmed mugs, garnished with a cinnamon stick or candy cane, if you wish.
