How to Make Hot White Chocolate With Ginger

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and 1/4 cup water. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture turns a light golden color (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly (about 2 minutes).
  3. Whisk in 2 cups low-fat milk and 6 ounces of white chocolate chips. Return the saucepan to the stove.
  4. Stir frequently, heating gently until the mixture reaches 180°F (82°C) or until small bubbles form around the edges. Do not boil.
  5. Strain the hot chocolate through a fine-mesh sieve into mugs to remove the ginger solids. Top with a dollop of whipped cream (optional) and enjoy!
