Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pink or purple food coloring (gel or liquid)
Toppings & Garnishes
- Whipped cream
- Pastel-colored sprinkles
- Mini marshmallows
- Edible glitter (optional)
- Cotton candy or candy hearts for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the milk and chocolate: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the 2 cups of whole milk and 1/2 cup white chocolate chips. Stir constantly to ensure the chocolate chips melt evenly and the mixture becomes smooth, taking about 5 to 7 minutes. Be careful not to let the milk boil to prevent scorching.
- Add flavor and color: Remove the saucepan from the heat once the mixture is smooth. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and add a few drops of pink or purple food coloring. Mix well until you achieve your desired pastel shade.
- Serve and garnish: Pour the hot chocolate into mugs. Generously top each cup with whipped cream, pastel sprinkles, and mini marshmallows. Optionally, sprinkle with a pinch of edible glitter for a magical sparkle. For extra fun, add cotton candy or candy hearts as a creative garnish. Serve immediately to enjoy the vibrant colors and creamy flavors.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk with your preferred dairy-free milk (such as almond or oat milk) and use vegan white chocolate chips.
