This Pink Hot Chocolate is a delightful twist on classic hot chocolate, featuring creamy evaporated and whole milk blended with melted white chocolate and a hint of red food coloring to create a beautiful pink hue. Perfect for cozying up on a chilly day or adding a festive touch to your beverage rotation, this drink is topped with optional whipped cream and sprinkles for extra indulgence.


Ingredients

Scale

Milk Base

  • 3/4 cup evaporated milk
  • 2 cups whole milk

Flavoring and Color

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 2 drops red food coloring

Optional Toppings

  • Whipped cream
  • Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Heat the Milk: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the evaporated milk and whole milk. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, carefully watching to prevent it from boiling over.
  2. Melt the White Chocolate: Remove the saucepan from heat and add the white chocolate chips. Stir continuously until the white chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Add Color: Slowly incorporate the red food coloring, adding one drop at a time and stirring between each addition until the liquid reaches a soft pink color to your liking.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Pour the pink hot chocolate into glasses and top with whipped cream and sprinkles if desired for a festive touch and extra creaminess.

Notes

  • Use white chocolate chips specifically for a smooth and creamy texture that melts evenly.
  • Adjust the amount of red food coloring to control the intensity of the pink color; start with fewer drops to avoid overpowering the flavor.
  • Whipped cream and sprinkles are optional but add a fun and indulgent element to the drink.
  • Keep stirring once the chocolate is added to avoid burning or clumping.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute evaporated and whole milk with coconut or almond milk and use vegan white chocolate chips.
