Sometimes there is nothing more comforting and warming on a bitter cold evening than hot chocolate. Last evening, after being pampered all morning, then at the movies with the kids, I wanted to warm up and be cozy on my couch for a little while. Yes, to answer Cathy's question on my last post, I was alone for dinner because Grumpy is off hunting this weekend. So, he didn't get any of the steak, but he had the steak burgers earlier in the week. 😉
I have the recent Cooking Light issue and in this issue they have a LOT of great sounding recipes. I'll be making more than a few of them over the next few weeks.
White Hot Spiced Chocolate
Cooking Light, November 200
3 cups 1% low-fat milk
⅛ teaspoon grated whole nutmeg
1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick
½ cup premium white chocolate chips
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup frozen fat-free whipped topping, thawed
Grated whole nutmeg (optional)
Combine milk, nutmeg, and cinnamon stick in a medium saucepan over medium heat; bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Add white chocolate chips, stirring until chips melt. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Discard cinnamon stick. Serve with whipped topping. Sprinkle with additional nutmeg, if desired.

I imagine myself at a ski resort after a day of boarding, body all sore, but relaxing and cozying up with this wonderful cup of spiced white chocolate.. Now I want a whip creamed mustache!

I've printed this out and am going to make this for my children. All three love white chocolate. I know it will be great after a cold night of baseball practice! Plus I won't have to make dessert, just this!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Yay a lighter version of such a wonderful drink. When I was first married, Himself and I enjoyed this White hot chocolate on Christmas mornings. But we got so full and sleepy! So I am happy to see the lite version. Thanks, I can make this again, and drink it too!
