A luscious, creamy pink hot chocolate topped with dreamy raspberry whipped cream, perfect for cozy nights and quick sweet treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 ounces white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A few drops pink food coloring (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, very cold
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons pure raspberry syrup or raspberry jam
  • Fresh raspberries for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pour 2 cups whole milk and 1/2 cup heavy cream into a medium saucepan. Warm over medium heat until it just begins to simmer, about 5 minutes. Do not boil.
  2. Lower heat to low and add 6 ounces white chocolate. Whisk gently and continuously until chocolate melts completely and mixture is smooth.
  3. Stir in 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add a few drops of pink food coloring if desired and whisk until evenly blended.
  4. Chill a mixing bowl in the fridge or freezer for about 10 minutes.
  5. Pour 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl. Using an electric mixer or hand whisk, beat cream until it starts to thicken.
  6. Gradually add 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons raspberry syrup or jam. Continue whipping until soft peaks form.
  7. Pour hot chocolate into mugs. Dollop raspberry whipped cream on top and garnish with fresh raspberries if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Melt white chocolate on low heat to avoid burning. Chill mixing bowl for whipped cream to whip faster and hold shape longer. Stop whipping cream at soft peaks to avoid graininess. Adjust sweetness to taste. For dairy-free version, substitute milk and cream with coconut milk and cream and use dairy-free white chocolate.
