Instructions

In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the raspberries break down and form a thick sauce, about 4 minutes.
Strain the raspberry sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove seeds, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible. Set aside.
Return the saucepan to medium-low heat and add the whole milk and chopped white chocolate. Warm gently, stirring constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the pure vanilla extract, salt, and reserved raspberry syrup. Heat until hot but not boiling.
Divide the hot chocolate between two mugs and serve immediately.

Tips

Use fresh ripe raspberries for the brightest flavor or frozen if out of season, thawed and drained slightly.
Add vanilla bean paste instead of extract for a more intense vanilla aroma.
