Notes
How to store: Allow any leftover white hot chocolate to cool to room temperature, then carefully pour the white hot chocolate into a liquid container with an airtight lid (like a large mason jar or sealed pitcher). Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
How to freeze: Once cooled to room temperature, pour leftover white hot chocolate into an ice cube tray and freeze until solid (usually 2-6 hours), then transfer the frozen cubes to a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. To use, reheat from frozen on the stovetop over medium-low heat.
