Description
Strawberry Hot Chocolate is a creamy, comforting drink made with fresh or freeze-dried strawberries and smooth white chocolate. It’s perfect for cozy nights, Valentine’s Day, or anytime you’re craving something sweet and fruity. The vibrant pink hue and rich taste make it a standout winter treat.
Ingredients
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup white chocolate, chopped or chips
1/2 cup fresh or freeze-dried strawberries (or 2 tablespoons strawberry jam)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Extra strawberries (optional, for topping)
Instructions
1. Add strawberries and milk to a blender. Blend until smooth. Strain for a smoother drink, especially if using fresh strawberries.
2. Pour mixture into a saucepan over medium heat. Add white chocolate, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir constantly until chocolate melts and mixture is steaming (don’t boil).
3. Pour into mugs. Top with whipped cream and extra strawberries if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
Use freeze-dried strawberries for intense flavor and a bright pink color.
For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk with almond, oat, or soy milk.
Sweeten to taste if your strawberries are tart—just a teaspoon of sugar or honey does the trick.
