A cozy and indulgent hot cocoa featuring the buttery richness of white chocolate paired with the tartness of raspberries, perfect for winter evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) whole milk (can substitute almond or oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 1/2 cup (90 g) white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
  • 1/4 cup (40 g) fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (12 g) sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • White chocolate shavings or fresh raspberries for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Warm the milk: Pour 2 cups (480 ml) of whole milk into a medium saucepan over medium heat. Heat gently for about 4-5 minutes until steaming but not boiling (around 160°F/71°C).
  2. Add the white chocolate: Lower heat to medium-low and stir in 1/2 cup (90 g) white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate. Whisk constantly for 3-4 minutes until melted and smooth.
  3. Incorporate raspberries: Add 1/4 cup (40 g) fresh or frozen raspberries. Gently mash with the back of a spoon or whisk. Simmer on low for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Strain if a seedless drink is desired.
  4. Sweeten and add cream: Stir in 1 tablespoon (12 g) sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Add 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream if using. Whisk until combined and heated through (1-2 minutes).
  5. Final taste test: Adjust sweetness or milk/chocolate amounts as needed.
  6. Serve: Pour into mugs and garnish with white chocolate shavings or fresh raspberries.

Notes

Whisk gently and continuously during chocolate melting to avoid grainy texture. Keep heat moderate to prevent burning white chocolate. Strain raspberry seeds for a smoother drink if desired. For dairy-free, use coconut or almond milk and dairy-free white chocolate chips. Reheat leftovers gently on stovetop, avoid microwave.
