Ingredients
4 cups whole milk, divided
1 vanilla bean
1 pinch salt
4 tsp cornstarch
1 cup (6 oz) white chocolate chips or 6 oz white chocolate baking bars, finely chopped
Instructions
In a medium saucepan heat 3 1/2 cups milk, seeds of vanilla bean and the vanilla bean pod and pinch of salt over medium heat. Bring to a simmer.
Meanwhile whisk together remaining 1/2 cup milk and the cornstarch until well blended.
Once milk mixture just simmers add the cornstarch mixture and let simmer 1 minute whisking constantly until lightly thickened (if needed reduce burner temperature if milk is bubbling up vigorously, you just want a light simmer).
Remove from heat. Immediately add white chocolate chips and whisk to melt. Remove vanilla bean pod.
Let cool slightly then serve with desired toppings (see notes).
Notes
You can use vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste in place of the vanilla bean (use 2 tsp)
Delicious toppings include sweetened whipped cream, marshmallows, candy canes for swirling, shaved white chocolate, cinnamon, fresh grated nutmeg, or salted caramel.
Note that toppings are not included in nutrition estimate.
