Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 ounces (56.7 grams) evaporated milk

- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- Red gel food coloring
Garnishes:
- Red crystal sprinkles
- Mini marshmallows
- Whipped topping

Instructions
- In a saucepan, gently heat milk, evaporated milk, and white chocolate chips over medium temperature, stirring continuously until the chocolate completely dissolves and creates a smooth, creamy base.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and incorporate vanilla extract and red food coloring, mixing thoroughly until the hot chocolate reaches a vibrant pink hue of your preference.
- Prepare serving glasses by moistening the rims with water, then delicately dipping them into red crystal sprinkles to create a festive decorative edge.
- Transfer the hot pink chocolate from the saucepan into a serving pitcher for easy pouring.
- Fill each prepared glass with the warm pink hot chocolate, leaving enough space for toppings.
- Crown each drink with a generous dollop of whipped topping, allowing it to gently float on the surface.
- Embellish the whipped cream with a sprinkle of additional red crystal sprinkles and delicate heart-shaped candies for a charming, romantic presentation.
- Serve immediately while the hot chocolate remains warm and the toppings are freshly arranged.
Notes
- Use white chocolate chips with high cocoa butter content for smoother, richer texture and better melting consistency.
- Gradually add food coloring to control pink shade, starting with a few drops and increasing until desired color is achieved.
- Experiment with alternative milk options like almond or oat milk for dairy-free version, which may slightly alter flavor profile.
- Swap vanilla extract with raspberry or strawberry extract to enhance pink theme and add complementary fruity undertone.
