Subtle scents of orange and nutmeg waft through the air when you sip this smooth hot chocolate. Ingredients:
12 ounces white chocolate, chopped (we tested with ghirardelli) |
1 3/4 cups whipping cream, divided |
6 cups milk |
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon orange zest, divided |
1/4 cup sugar |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
garnish: orange zest |
Directions:
1. Melt white chocolate in top of a double boiler over hot, not boiling, water.
2. Combine 1 cup whipping cream, milk, 2 tablespoons orange zest, and sugar in a large saucepan. Bring just to a boil, stirring often. Reduce heat and simmer 2 minutes. Add 1 cup milk mixture to white chocolate in double boiler, stirring well with a wire whisk. Pour white chocolate mixture into milk mixture in saucepan. Cook over low heat until thoroughly heated, stirring gently. Pour into mugs.
3. Beat remaining 3/4 cup whipping cream, 1 teaspoon orange zest, vanilla, and nutmeg at medium speed of an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Spoon dollops of whipped cream onto hot chocolate; garnish, if desired.
