Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small saucepan, pour in about 2 cups of whole milk and place it over medium heat. Stir continuously with a whisk for approximately 5 minutes, or until the milk is steaming but not boiling.
  2. Add a cup of white chocolate chips into the saucepan with the heated milk. Keep whisking continuously for about 3-4 minutes until the chocolate melts completely and the mixture becomes smooth and velvety.
  3. Once the chocolate is melted, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and half a teaspoon of peppermint extract, mixing well.
  4. Gradually add a few drops of blue gel food coloring to the mixture, stirring well after each addition. Continue adjusting until you reach your desired shade of frosty blue.
  5. Pour the hot Frostbite Blue Christmas Cocoa into mugs, leaving some room for toppings. Generously dollop whipped cream on each serving, then sprinkle with chocolate shavings and festive sprinkles.
