Ingredients:

  • 200 ml heavy cream [heavy cream is a measurement system]
  • 1/3 cup white chocolate chips [white chocolate chips can be purchased at any local grocery store]
  • 2 cups whole milk [can be substituted with other types of milk, such as skimmed or semi-skimmed ] 4 teaspoons peppermint extract 2 tablespoons marshmallow creme [marshmallow creme is a product you can buy at any local grocery.
  • 1 cup [the cup for this recipe refers to a cup, either metric or imperial]
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions:

Step 1.

In a small saucepan, bring the heavy cream to a boil. Add white chocolate chips, and stir until melted. Remove from heat and stir in peppermint extract and marshmallow creme. Mix until smooth. Pour into mugs and top with a pinch of ground nutmeg.

Step 2.  

Pour the milk into a medium saucepan. Add chocolate chips and peppermint extract and stir until melted. Add the cream mixture and stir to combine. Serve immediately, or chill for 30 minutes before serving. Makes four servings (1 cup each).

Step 3.  

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the milk and white chocolate chips to a simmer until the chocolate melts, about 5 minutes; whisk in peppermint extract and marshmallow creme.

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in heavy cream until blended. Serve immediately over ice or refrigerate until ready to serve. Makes four servings (1-1/4 cups each).

Step 4.  

Remove the marshmallow cream mixture from the refrigerator and sit at room temperature until it is smooth enough to stir. Cover a small bowl with plastic wrap, and put the bowl inside a giant bowl.

Fill the smaller bowl with ice and water. Pour half the chocolate mixture and stir with a spoon until smooth, but do not overmix as you don’t want to incorporate much air into the mixture.
