Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 drops pink food coloring

Optional Toppings

  • Whipped cream
  • Mini marshmallows
  • Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Heat the Milk and Chocolate: Place the milk, white chocolate chips, and vanilla extract in a medium saucepan. Whisk continuously over medium-low heat until the chocolate has completely melted and the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring the milk does not boil.
  2. Prepare the Whipped Cream: Using a standing mixer, whip your cream ingredients on medium to high speed until stiff peaks form, creating a light and airy topping.
  3. Add Color: Stir in two drops of pink food coloring into the hot chocolate mixture until the color is evenly distributed, giving the drink its signature soft pink hue.
  4. Serve: Pour the hot chocolate into glasses and top with the freshly whipped cream by piping or dolloping it on top.
  5. Garnish and Enjoy: Sprinkle with your choice of sprinkles or mini marshmallows for a festive finish and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use high-quality white chocolate for a richer flavor and smoother texture.
  • Adjust the pink food coloring drops to achieve your preferred shade.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk with almond or oat milk and use dairy-free white chocolate.
  • Whipped cream can be homemade or store-bought for convenience.
  • Consider warming your glasses before pouring to keep the hot chocolate warm longer.
