Ingredients
Pink Hot Chocolate
- 1 cup (315 ml) sweetened condensed milk
- 12 oz (340 g) white chocolate chips use a good quality brand for best flavor
- 4 cups (950 ml) whole milk
- red food coloring start with 1-2 drops; adjust for desired pinkness
For Topping
- whipped cream for serving (optional but recommended)
- heart sprinkles for garnish; or any colorful sprinkles
Equipment
- Medium saucepan
- Whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate chips. Stir gently until the chips have fully melted and the mixture turns smooth and glossy.
- Gradually whisk in the whole milk, pouring slowly and whisking constantly, until fully mixed and silky-smooth.
- Continue heating until the mixture is steaming hot but not boiling. Stir frequently to prevent burning or sticking.
- Remove from heat and add red food coloring, starting with 1–2 drops; stir and add more as needed to reach your desired shade of pink.
- Pour hot chocolate into mugs. Top generously with whipped cream and sprinkle with heart sprinkles. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
You can use chopped white chocolate bars instead of chips—just measure by weight. To make ahead, refrigerate and gently reheat on the stove (avoid boiling). For dairy-free, use vegan white chocolate and plant-based milk. Adjust food coloring for paler or more vibrant pink. Optional add-ins include a dash of vanilla or almond extract, a swirl of strawberry syrup, or even a shot of espresso for a pink mocha treat.
