Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Milk or Milk Alternative (such as almond, oat, or coconut milk)
  • 1/2 cup White Chocolate Chips or chopped White Chocolate Bar
  • 1–2 tablespoons Freeze-Dried Strawberry Powder or 2 tablespoons Fresh Strawberry Puree
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1–2 teaspoons Sugar or preferred Sweetener (honey, maple syrup, stevia, etc.)

Optional Toppings

  • Whipped Cream
  • Marshmallows
  • Freeze-Dried Strawberry Bits
  • Powdered Sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and measure them out. If using freeze-dried strawberry powder, have it ready to mix; if using fresh strawberries, puree and strain to avoid seeds.
  2. Heat the Milk: Warm the milk or milk alternative gently in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Heat until hot but not boiling to maintain creaminess.
  3. Add White Chocolate: Once the milk is warm, add the white chocolate chips or chopped bar. Stir continuously until the chocolate has fully melted and blended smoothly with the milk.
  4. Mix in Strawberry Powder and Sweetener: Add freeze-dried strawberry powder or fresh puree, stirring to incorporate the pink color and fruity flavor thoroughly. Gradually add sugar or your preferred sweetener to taste, stirring well.
  5. Finish with Vanilla: Add vanilla extract and give the drink a final stir to combine all ingredients evenly. Pour your Pink Hot Chocolate into a mug.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Top with whipped cream, marshmallows, or sprinkle with strawberry bits or powdered sugar as desired. Enjoy warm.

Notes

  • Use high-quality white chocolate for the best smoothness and richness.
  • Do not boil the milk to prevent scorching and bitterness.
  • Adjust strawberry powder quantity based on desired fruitiness and color intensity.
  • Whisk before serving for extra creaminess and frothy texture.
  • When using fresh strawberries, blend and strain to eliminate seeds.
