This lemon white hot chocolate is creamy, zesty, lemon-ey, and has a fluffy toasted meringue topping! It’s warm, sweet, and refreshing - the perfect cozy winter drink for anyone who loves lemons. It has the components of a lemon meringue pie - creamy lemon white hot chocolate and a cloudy meringue topping. An egg yolk gets cooked in the hot chocolate, giving it a beautiful yellow color and adding richness. Takes under 15 minutes to make. Perfect for sipping through the winter, Christmas, and the holidays!

Separate the egg yolk and egg white. Set aside.
⅕ 1 large eggAdd the egg yolk into a small saucepan. Add grated lemon zest and whisk up to break up the yolk.
⅕ 1 lemonAdd the white chocolate and milk into the egg yolk mixture. Heat on medium heat, whisking frequently to prevent burning. Take it off the heat once very hot and steaming - just before it comes to a boil. If it forms a film on top, you can scoop or strain it out.
⅕ ¼ white chocolate⅕ 1 milkBeat the egg white in a jar or glass with an electric whisk or mixer. I used a handheld electric mixer with only one attachment. Once foamy and soft, add sugar 1 teaspoon at a time and beat until it reaches stiff peaks.
⅕ 1 sugarPour the hot chocolate into a mug. Top with the meringue. Torch the top with a kitchen torch to get it browned and toasty. If you put it under the broiler, make sure your mug is oven safe! Enjoy hot with a spoon on the side to help get through the meringue.
