Helpful Tips

• For added flavor: Incorporate a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg.
• Dairy-free option: Substitute whole milk and heavy cream with almond milk or coconut milk.
• Sweetener alternatives: Use honey or maple syrup instead of sugar for a different sweetness profile.

Storage Instructions

If you have leftovers, store the cooled hot chocolate in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat, stirring until warmed through.

Pairings and Complementary Dishes

Pair your Vanilla Bean White Hot Chocolate with freshly baked cookies, such as chocolate chip or snickerdoodles, for a delightful treat. For a savory twist, serve alongside a warm, buttery croissant or a slice of nutty banana bread.
