Class up your hot chocolate routine, especially if you’re hosting company or celebrating a special occasion—our almond white chocolate hot cocoa recipe will blow your mind! We pulled out all the stops to create a tasty, satisfying non-alcoholic beverage to warm you up from the inside out.

Unsweetened almond milk and finely shaved white chocolate are combined in a saucepan, then gently whisked together until it whispers ‘come and get me.’ Then we added a dash of almond extract (or vanilla) for a sneaky, smooth pop of yummy flavor and a pinch of salt—oh my!

Because you’re not fully dressed until you’ve accessorized, we added a dollop of whipped cream (dairy or dairy-free) and toasted almonds for serving (slurp).
