  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Whipped Cream

  • 1/4 cup cold heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • Dash of vanilla extract (optional)

Pink Hot Chocolate

  • 2 cups milk
  • 4 oz good-quality white chocolate, chopped
  • 2-4 drops red food coloring
  • Sprinkles for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Chill the Mason Jar: Place your pint-sized mason jar with its lid in the freezer for 15 minutes to ensure it is very cold, which will help the cream whip more effectively.
  2. Make Whipped Cream: Pour the cold heavy cream, granulated sugar, and optional vanilla into the chilled jar. Screw on the lid tightly. If the jar is too cold to hold comfortably, wrap it in a towel. Shake vigorously for about 5-7 minutes until the sloshing stops and the cream thickens into whipped cream. Check consistency and place the whipped cream in the refrigerator to keep chilled.
  3. Heat Milk: In a small saucepan, gently heat 2 cups of milk over medium heat until warm but not boiling.
  4. Melt White Chocolate: Add the chopped white chocolate to the warm milk, stirring constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and incorporated, and the milk reaches your desired temperature.
  5. Add Food Coloring: Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 2-4 drops of red food coloring until the mixture turns a consistent pink color.
  6. Assemble the Drink: Pour the pink hot chocolate into cups, spoon the chilled mason jar whipped cream on top, and garnish with sprinkles if desired.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Sip and savor the creamy, sweet, and visually charming pink hot chocolate with a cloud of homemade whipped cream.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream and jar are very cold before whipping to achieve the best volume in your whipped cream.
  • Adjust the amount of red food coloring to get your preferred shade of pink.
  • Use high-quality white chocolate for the richest flavor and smoothest texture.
  • Do not boil the milk as this can cause the chocolate to seize or the milk to scorch.
  • The whipped cream can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for a few hours.
