Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1/4 cup chopped almonds
  • 2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1–2 tablespoons sugar or sweetener (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Grate the orange zest, chop the almonds, and chop the white chocolate if not using chips for even melting.
  2. Heat the milk: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm 2 cups of milk until hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
  3. Add cocoa powder and white chocolate: Whisk in 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and the chocolate is fully melted.
  4. Incorporate orange zest and almonds: Stir in 1 teaspoon of freshly grated orange zest and 1/4 cup chopped almonds to infuse flavor and add texture.
  5. Sweeten to taste: Add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar or sweetener if desired, continuing to stir until dissolved.
  6. Serve warm: Pour the white chocolate orange almond cocoa into mugs and optionally garnish with extra orange zest or almonds. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Use whole milk or plant-based milk like almond or oat for desired creaminess.
  • Adjust sweetness according to your preference; white chocolate is naturally sweet.
  • For a smoother texture, you can strain out the almonds before serving.
  • Use fresh orange zest to get the best citrus flavor; avoid the white pith to prevent bitterness.
  • For a nut-free option, omit the almonds or substitute with seeds like pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
