Notes

Feel free to substitute 2% milk if you're out of whole milk, or try coconut milk for a dairy-free version. Enhance the flavor with a pinch of salt for depth. This recipe doubles easily for larger gatherings. Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days, and reheat gently when needed. For a little extra fun, set up a hot chocolate station with various toppings for guests to enjoy!
