Ingredients

• ¾ cup evaporated milk
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• 2 drops red food coloring
• Whipped cream (optional)
• Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

1️⃣ Heat the Milk:
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the evaporated milk and whole milk until it just begins to boil. Watch closely to avoid it boiling over.

2️⃣ Melt the Chocolate:
Remove from heat and stir in the white chocolate chips until fully melted and smooth.

3️⃣ Color the Cocoa:
Add red food coloring one drop at a time, stirring between each, until you reach a soft pink color you love.

4️⃣ Serve It Up:
Pour the hot pink cocoa into mugs. Top with whipped cream and sprinkles for a festive finish. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Customize Your Color: Start with one drop of red food coloring and stir. Add more gradually to reach your desired shade of pink. Too much will turn the drink red, not pink.
Vegan Option: Substitute whole milk with oat, almond, or soy milk, and use dairy-free white chocolate chips. Coconut whipped cream is a great topping alternative.
Flavor Boosters: Add ½ teaspoon vanilla or almond extract for extra depth. Strawberry syrup can enhance the fruity flavor for kids or Valentine’s Day themes.
Make-Ahead Friendly: Prepare the base in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat, stirring continuously.
Party Tip: Set up a hot chocolate bar with sprinkles, flavored syrups, marshmallows, and candy toppings. Great for baby showers, birthdays, or cozy holidays.
Color Naturally: For a natural pink tint, try beet powder or freeze-dried strawberry powder instead of food coloring. Learn more about natural food coloring here.
