White Hot Cinnamon Roll

Don't be mislead by the title--this isn't a yeast roll, but a rich, hot white chocolate beverage made with caramel sauce, cinnamon and vanilla.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 6 oz white chocolate bars
• 1/2 cup caramel sauce, plus extra for garnish
• Pinch salt
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 Tablespoon sugar
• Ground cinnamon (optional)

Method

Place the milk, 1 cup cream, vanilla bean and seeds, and cinnamon stick in a large saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Turn off heat and let steep for 10 minutes. Chop the chocolate and place in a bowl with the caramel sauce; set aside. Bring the milk mixture up to a simmer once more and strain over the chocolate and caramel sauce, discarding vanilla bean and cinnamon stick. Let it sit for a few minutes to melt, then whisk until the chocolate and caramel are thoroughly combined. Whisk in salt. Place remaining 1 cup of heavy cream in a chilled metal bowl and beat until medium peaks form. Add cinnamon and sugar; continue beating just to form stiff peaks. Serve the hot chocolate in mugs. Garnish with whipped cream, a drizzle of caramel sauce, and an extra sprinkle of cinnamon on top.

Notes: To make this in advance, just prepare the hot chocolate as directed and refrigerate until needed. When ready to serve, reheat in a saucepan over medium-low heat or in the microwave.

Number of servings: 4, 8 oz. servings, or 6, 6 oz. servings
