Ingredients

Scale

Liquid Ingredients

  • 2 cups (488 g) whole milk
  • ½ cup (119 g) heavy whipping cream
  • ⅓ cup (103 g) strawberry syrup (store-bought or homemade)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate and Garnishes

  • ½ cup (85 g) white chocolate chips
  • Whipped cream (for topping)
  • Fresh strawberries, halved or diced (for garnish)
  • White chocolate shavings (for garnish)
  • Pink or red sprinkles (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat milk and heavy cream: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the whole milk and heavy whipping cream. Warm the mixture until it is steaming but not boiling, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
  2. Melt white chocolate chips: Add the white chocolate chips to the hot milk mixture. Whisk constantly until the white chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Add strawberry syrup and vanilla extract: Pour in the strawberry syrup and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly to combine all the flavors into a smooth hot chocolate base.
  4. Divide into mugs: Pour the strawberry hot chocolate evenly into serving mugs to prepare for garnishing.
  5. Garnish the hot chocolate: Top each mug with a generous swirl of whipped cream. Add fresh strawberries, white chocolate shavings, and sprinkle pink or red sprinkles over the top for a festive and visually appealing finish.

Notes

  • Use fresh or homemade strawberry syrup for a more intense fruit flavor.
  • Heat the milk mixture gently to avoid boiling and curdling.
  • The white chocolate chips must be stirred constantly to ensure they melt smoothly without burning.
  • Customize garnishes based on preference or availability.
  • This drink is best enjoyed warm and fresh for optimal flavor and texture.
