Indulge in a creamy Pistachio White Hot Chocolate, blending rich white chocolate and finely chopped pistachios for a luxurious treat. Perfect for cozy evenings, this decadent drink is topped with whipped cream and garnished with extra pistachios, offering a delightful crunch in every sip.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup unsalted pistachios, shelled and finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Whipped cream, for topping
  • Extra chopped pistachios, for garnish
  • Optional: Green food coloring (for a more vibrant color)

Instructions

  1. Finely chop the shelled pistachios using a food processor. Set aside a tablespoon for garnish.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine whole milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium until it simmers, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
  3. Stir in the finely chopped pistachios and let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or another saucepan, pressing down on the pistachios to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
  5. Return the strained mixture to the saucepan over low heat. Add white chocolate chips and stir continuously until melted and smooth.
  6. Stir in vanilla extract and salt. If desired, add a few drops of green food coloring and mix until evenly distributed.
  7. Increase heat slightly and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. In a mixing bowl, whip heavy cream with a tablespoon of sugar until soft peaks form (about 3-5 minutes). Set aside.
  9. Pour the pistachio white hot chocolate into mugs.
  10. Generously dollop whipped cream on top of each mug.
  11. Sprinkle reserved chopped pistachios over the whipped cream and drizzle with melted white chocolate if desired.
  12. Cozy up with your delicious homemade pistachio white hot chocolate!

Notes

  • Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Feel free to add more white chocolate chips or sugar for a sweeter drink.
  • For a stronger pistachio flavor, consider adding pistachio extract.
