In a saucepan combine the chocolate chips and the heavy cream over medium-high heat stirring constantly until the white chips are melted.
Add the milk and the vanilla extract and stir until combined and warm.
Add a scoop of ice cream and garnish right before serving.

Use High-Quality White Chocolate: Since white chocolate is a key ingredient in this recipe, using high-quality white chocolate chips will result in a creamier and more flavorful hot chocolate. Look for white chocolate chips with a high cocoa butter content for the best flavor and texture.
Adjust Sweetness to Taste: White chocolate can be quite sweet on its own, so be mindful of adding additional sugar or sweeteners. Taste the hot chocolate before serving and adjust the sweetness level according to your preference. You can add a little extra sugar or sweetener if desired, but keep in mind the sweetness of the vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup when making adjustments.
Serve Immediately: Snowball hot chocolate is best enjoyed immediately after preparation while it's still hot and creamy. Be sure to have your serving mugs ready and garnish with ice cream and chocolate syrup just before serving to create a delightful presentation. If you're making a large batch, keep it warm on low heat or in a slow cooker until ready to serve, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
