ORANGE WHITE HOT CHOCOLATE



Orange White Hot Chocolate image

This is a very favorite winter drink of mine. Sometimes, in my family, we will make this in the middle of summer when we're craving something sweet and comforting. It's got a gentle, yet smooth, taste to it and is sure to please anyone who loves white chocolate and orange. For myself, I make a soy milk version of this since I cannot handle dairy and I love it. Serve immediately and top with orange zest, marshmallows, or whipped cream if you wish.

HALLOWEEN ORANGE HOT CHOCOLATE



Halloween Orange Hot Chocolate image

Slightly altered recipe from Kaboose.com; they got this neat treat from "the book Halloween Tricks and Treats by Matthew Mead (Time Inc. Home Entertainment, 2008)"

Provided by kikyo7734

Categories     Beverages

Time 10m

Yield 10 glasses hot chocolate, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 ounces premium white baking chocolate
8 cups nonfat milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
orange food coloring
whipped cream (for garnish)
chocolate nonpareils (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Coarsely chop the premium white chocolate, transfer to a medium-size heatproof bowl and set aside.
  • Heat milk in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat, until bubbles begin to form at edge of surface, about 4 minutes.
  • Immediately pour milk over chocolate.
  • When chocolate begins to melt, stir until combined. Whisk in vanilla extract and 2 drops orange food color; whisk until a light foam forms on surface.
  • Pour into 10 mugs, garnish with whipped cream and chocolate nonpareils, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chocolate: For the best flavor, use a good-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate.
  • Use fresh orange zest: Fresh orange zest adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the hot chocolate. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use dried orange peel, but it won't be as flavorful.
  • Don't overheat the milk: When heating the milk, be careful not to let it boil. Boiling milk can scorch the chocolate and give it a burnt flavor.
  • Add the chocolate slowly: When adding the chocolate to the milk, do it slowly and whisk constantly. This will help prevent the chocolate from clumping.
  • Serve immediately: Hot chocolate is best served immediately after it's made. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat it gently over low heat until warmed through.

Conclusion:

Orange hot chocolate is a delicious and festive drink that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like it rich and chocolatey or light and citrusy, there's an orange hot chocolate recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a warm and comforting drink, give orange hot chocolate a try. You won't be disappointed.
