Luxurious White Chocolate Flakes Bliss

Making your own chocolate milk is probably your best bet when it comes to making it fit your nutritional needs. White chocolate flakes are thin and delicate in nature which allows them to melt more quickly and evenly than chunks or buttons.

Grab these three ingredients and make yourself the best hot chocolate with a vanilla twist.

Ingredients:

• 40g white chocolate flakes
• 250ml whole milk
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
• Whipped cream (for topping)
• Sprinkle of nutmeg or white chocolate shavings (optional)

Instructions:

1. Pour the milk into a medium saucepan and place over medium-low heat.
2. As the milk warms, add the white chocolate flakes gradually, whisking constantly.
3. Continue heating and whisking until the chocolate is fully melted and incorporated. The flakes should dissolve seamlessly, creating a smooth, creamy texture.
4. Once the mixture is uniform, increase heat slightly and continue stirring until it reaches your desired temperature. Do not allow it to boil.
5. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract if using.
6. For an extra silky texture, use an immersion blender to froth the hot chocolate for about 30 seconds. The flakes’ fine texture allows for excellent emulsification, resulting in a luxuriously smooth drink.
7. Pour into a mug and top with whipped cream.
8. If desired, sprinkle with a dash of nutmeg or some white chocolate shavings for garnish.

Advantages of white chocolate flakes:

• Visual appeal: Any unmelted flakes create attractive speckles in the drink.
• Consistent results: The uniform size of flakes ensures even melting and consistent flavor in every batch.
• Smoother texture: Flakes distribute more easily throughout the liquid, reducing the risk of clumps.
• Better control: You can add flakes gradually, adjusting the chocolate intensity to your preference.

Enjoy your luxurious white chocolate hot beverage, made extra special with the unique properties of chocolate flakes!
