🛒 Ingredients

Milk
Sweetened condensed milk
White chocolate chips
Pink food coloring
Heart sprinkles

🥄 Instructions

Step One: Mix the Ingredients

Heat the milk, chocolate chips, and sweetened condensed milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Stir until everything is thoroughly mixed and melted.

Step Two: Add Color and Decorate

Add a few drops of pink food coloring and stir.
Continue to add coloring and stir until the desired shade of pink is reached.
Pour into cups and top with whipped cream and sprinkles, if desired.

Tips and Suggestions

Be sure to stir the mixture continuously as it heats up to prevent the milk from burning.
Add a pinch of salt and a dash of vanilla extract to highlight the flavor of the white chocolate.
If you don’t have white chocolate chips, a chopped white chocolate bar will work just as well.
You can use red food coloring if you can’t find pink. Just be sure to start with a tiny amount and increase very gradually so the color doesn’t turn out too red.

Variations

Top with pink and white mini marshmallows for a fun garnish, then serve in a glass mug to show off the beautiful pink color.
Top with whipped cream then add a few sliced strawberries.
Add peppermint or strawberry syrup for some fun flavor variations.
Make a boozy version by adding some peppermint schnapps, amaretto, or strawberry liquor.

How Do I Store Pink Hot Chocolate?

You can save your leftover hot chocolate in a mason jar in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to serve it, simply pour it back into the saucepan and gradually reheat.

What Kind of Milk Should I Use?

Keep in mind that the higher the fat content of the milk, the creamier the hot chocolate will taste, so I recommend using whole milk. If you prefer a less creamy hot chocolate, you can use 2%, or you can use a non-dairy variety like coconut milk, cashew milk, or almond milk
