Description

This luscious Strawberry Hot Chocolate combines the creamy richness of white chocolate with the sweet, fruity flavor of strawberry syrup for a delightful twist on a classic winter beverage. Perfect for a cozy night in, it’s topped with whipped cream and white chocolate curls for an indulgent treat.

Ingredients

Hot Chocolate Base

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate, chopped or chips
  • Pinch of salt

Flavorings

  • 1/4 cup strawberry syrup or puree
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Few drops natural red or pink food coloring (optional)

Toppings

  • Whipped cream, for topping
  • White chocolate curls or shavings, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Warm the Milk: Pour the milk into a saucepan and heat it over medium-low heat. Warm the milk gently without letting it boil to prepare the base for your hot chocolate.
  2. Melt the White Chocolate: Add the chopped white chocolate and a pinch of salt to the warmed milk. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Strawberry Flavor: Stir in the strawberry syrup or puree along with the vanilla extract. If desired, add a few drops of natural red or pink food coloring to enhance the color of your drink.
  4. Optional: Froth or Blend: For a creamier and airy texture, optionally blend or froth the mixture briefly before serving.
  5. Serve: Pour the hot chocolate into mugs. Top generously with whipped cream and garnish with white chocolate curls or shavings for an extra indulgent touch.
  6. Enjoy Warm: Serve immediately while still warm and enjoy this comforting strawberry twist on a classic hot chocolate.

Notes

  • Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and smooth texture.
  • Adjust the amount of strawberry syrup or puree to suit your sweetness preference.
  • Natural food coloring is optional but adds a beautiful visual appeal.
  • Whole milk provides creaminess; substitute with plant-based milk for a dairy-free option, but it may affect texture.
  • To make it vegan, use vegan white chocolate chips and plant milk alternatives.
