Ingredients
Units
Scale
- For the Hot Chocolate:
- 1 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 5 tbsp white hot chocolate mix
- Pink food coloring (desired amount)
- Optional for the Garnish:
- 1/3 cup white candy melts
- Sprinkles
- Melted pink candy melts
- Whipped topping
- Mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Heat the Milk and Cream:
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the milk and heavy cream. Stir occasionally and heat until small bubbles form around the edges of the pan (about 3 minutes). Make sure not to boil. - Mix in Hot Chocolate:
Whisk the white hot chocolate mix into the warm milk and cream. Once fully combined, add your desired amount of pink food coloring and stir until evenly blended. - Prepare Chocolate Sprinkle Rim (Optional):
If you’re creating a fun, decorative rim for your mugs, start by melting white candy melts in the microwave. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until fully melted. Dip the rim of each glass into the melted candy melts. Then, immediately dip the rim into a plate of sprinkles. Allow the coating to set for 1-2 minutes. - Assemble the Hot Chocolate:
Remove the hot chocolate from heat and pour it evenly into two serving mugs. Choose 10-ounce or larger mugs to leave room for toppings. - Add Toppings:
Top each mug with whipped cream, mini marshmallows, and additional sprinkles. If using melted candy melts, drizzle over the toppings for extra color and flair. - Serve:
Serve immediately. This hot chocolate can be enjoyed warm or cold for a refreshing dessert.
Notes
- For smooth and vibrant color, use gel-based food coloring instead of liquid.
- If you want thicker and richer hot chocolate, use more heavy cream and slightly less milk.
- To make this drink extra special, use edible glitter for a magical shimmering effect.
- Use your favorite sprinkles or mix them up for a rainbow effect.
