Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup (180 milliliters) evaporated milk

Coloring and Optional Toppings:

  • 2 drops red food coloring

Instructions

  3. Gradually incorporate white chocolate chips into the warm milk, whisking continuously until the chocolate completely melts and creates a smooth, creamy liquid.

  5. Transfer the pink hot chocolate into a festive mug, ensuring a smooth pour to prevent splashing.
  6. Embellish the beverage with a generous dollop of fluffy whipped cream, creating an elegant swirl on top.
  7. Sprinkle colorful decorative sprinkles over the whipped cream to add a playful and visually appealing finishing touch to the drink.
