Ingredients

• 3/4 cup evaporated milk
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• 2 drops red food coloring
• Whipped cream (optional)
• Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat the Milk

In a medium saucepan, combine the evaporated milk and whole milk. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Keep a close eye on the milk to prevent it from boiling over—once it starts to bubble, it’s time to remove it from the heat.

2. Melt the White Chocolate

Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately add the white chocolate chips. Stir the mixture until all the white chocolate has melted and the hot chocolate is smooth and creamy. The white chocolate not only adds sweetness but also gives the drink a rich, velvety texture.

3. Add the Pink Color

Slowly add red food coloring—one drop at a time—into the mixture. Stir well after each drop until you achieve the desired soft pink color. Be careful not to add too much food coloring at once; a little goes a long way to create that perfect pink hue.

4. Serve and Garnish

Pour the hot chocolate into your favorite mugs. For an extra touch of sweetness and fun, top each mug with whipped cream and a sprinkle of your favorite sprinkles. These toppings not only add a festive touch but also enhance the creamy texture of the hot chocolate.
