Method
- In a medium saucepan, pour in your two cups of whole milk. Set the heat to medium low. It is very important not to let the milk boil. You just want it to be steaming and hot to the touch.
- Add your white chocolate chips into the warm milk. Use a whisk to stir constantly. You will see the chips start to soften and eventually disappear into a smooth, creamy liquid.
- Once the chocolate is fully melted, stir in the vanilla extract and that tiny pinch of salt. Now comes the fun part. Add your pink food coloring one drop at a time until you reach your desired shade of blush or hot pink.
- If you like a bit of foam, give the mixture a vigorous whisking for about thirty seconds right before serving. This creates a lovely light texture on top.
- Carefully pour the Pink Hot Chocolate into your favorite mugs. Top generously with whipped cream, sprinkles, or maybe even some small marshmallows.

Notes
To make the best Pink Hot Chocolate every single time, keep these tips in mind. First, always melt your chocolate slowly. White chocolate has a lower melting point than dark chocolate and can seize if it gets too hot too fast. Second, if you prefer a thicker drink, whisk in a tablespoon of heavy cream at the very end. For storage, store leftovers in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to two days and reheat over low heat.
