  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

For the hot chocolate:

  • 4 cups milk
  • 1 cup good quality white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Several drops of pink food coloring (or another pastel color)
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

For the topping:

  • Purple decorating gel (or another pastel color)
  • Whipped cream
  • Pastel marshmallows

  • Mini sugar pearls

Instructions

  1. Heat Mixture: Place the milk, white chocolate, vanilla extract, pink food coloring, and a pinch of salt (if using) in a medium saucepan.
  2. Whisk Until Smooth: Whisk continuously over medium-low heat until the white chocolate melts completely and the mixture is smooth and creamy, making sure not to let it boil.
