Notes

Be sure to check Expert Tips and FAQs above with important tips and questions that can help make a delicious recipe. 
Note 1: We use either whole milk or 2% for this recipe. I do not recommend skim milk. When recipe testing, skim milk tasted a bit off for us. Milk provides an excellent base to a most aromatic hot chocolate.
Note 2: In lieu of half and half, use heavy cream. It will be a denser flavor and just as delicious with a higher calorie count.
Note 3: Use either melting chocolate wafer or chips
Note 4: Keto friends, use Swerve or monk fruit sweetener instead of sugar.
Variations
  • This is a Zebra hot chocolate which is a blend of white and milk chocolate. You can use all of one variety, such as all white chocolate or all milk chocolate.
