Snowball Hot Chocolate Recipe

Snowball Hot Chocolate

Hi everyone! It’s Sara from over at Bitz & Giggles! Believe it or not, the snow has already made an appearance in Wisconsin and we’re starting to unpack our winter gear! I have to admit, I’m not really excited about it, however, I do like boots and sweaters. Let’s just leave it at that.


White Hot Chocolate Recipe

It starts out quite innocent really with some heavy cream, milk, vanilla and white chocolate chips all warmed up together until rich and creamy.

Then, comes the most heavenly part of all. . .add a scoop of ice cream. Any kind, really. I chose Vanilla Fudge Swirl. Oh. my. goodness. My kids aren’t normally hot chocolate drinkers. You know why? Because it’s always too hot and they don’t have the patience to wait for it to cool off. THIS hot chocolate, however, they will drink.

Why? Well, because it’s hot chocolate taken to a whole ‘nother level, AND the ice cream cools it off and makes it the perfect temperature to drink right away. There’s no reason for your family members to burn the skin off their tongues every time they take a sip of hot chocolate, and if someone spills this hot chocolate on themselves, they’re not going to scald themselves the way they would with coffee or hot chocolate right off the stove.

After you put the scoop of ice cream in the hot chocolate it just melts gradually, leaving behind the creamiest, dreamiest hot chocolate I promise you’ve ever tasted. This white hot chocolate DOES NOT disappoint. Once it hits your lips, it’s over. End of story. What a treat. . .certainly one your family and holiday guests will never forget. Enjoy!
