Ingredients
32 ounces whole milk or oat milk
6 ounces white chocolate, chopped (1/4 cup)
Pinch of kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
Unsweetened whipped cream and candy canes or peppermint sticks, for serving
Preparation
Heat milk and white chocolate in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Continue cooking, whisking constantly, until very hot, thick, and frothy, 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove from heat; whisk in peppermint extract. Transfer to cups or mugs, dollop with whipped cream, and serve with candy canes (the candy serves as a stirring stick and also slowly dissolves into the hot cocoa, adding more peppermint flavor as you sip and repeat).
