Oh this is heaven on earth~ absolutely delicious Vanilla Bean White Hot Chocolate. This is such a great alternative to classic hot chocolate, and it is so flavorful with the vanilla bean. I actually invented this recipe {with a little trial and error} for my husband who isn't really big on chocolate. This yummy drink tastes mostly of the vanilla bean, with just a creamy hint of the white chocolate.
Vanilla Bean White Hot Chocolate
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Ingredients
- 6 cups whole milk
- 1 vanilla bean
- 1- 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 squares of Ghiradelli White Baking Chocolate bar chopped finely
Instructions
-
Slit the vanilla bean down the side and scrape out the black insides. Combine milk, pod, bean guts, and sweetened condensed milk and begin to warm over medium heat. Remove from heat once milk begins to steam (not boil). Remove pod and add chopped white chocolate, whisking well. Serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
I put a dollop of whipped cream and some white chocolate shavings on mine here in the pictures

Hi, I had to go back and read the directions a few times and I still am wondering where the caviar comes in on the recipe? I am sure it was an error and I had to laugh...When you say add the pod, that means the vanilla bean without the seeds, right? Looks really tasty! um...without caviar of course...LOL
