Notes
- Use milk with a higher fat content such as whole milk or half-and-half to achieve a creamier texture.
- Choose high-quality white chocolate for better melting and richer flavor.
- Do not allow the mixture to boil, as this can affect texture and flavor.
- Nutmeg is optional but adds a nice aromatic hint if desired.
