A cozy segue between full winter and the first kisses of spring.
Prep Time 10 minutes mins
Cook Time 10 minutes mins
Total Time 20 minutes mins
- 2 cups whole milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, stems removed
- 1/3 cup honey or sugar
- 6 oz white chocolate, chopped
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- whipped cream and sprinkles, to serve
In a blender, combine the milk, water, strawberries, and honey/sugar. Pulse until well combined. Let the milk sit until the froth on top settles - if you skip this step, your strawberry milk WILL curdle when heated!
Add the strawberry milk to a medium saucepan and heat over medium until steaming. Turn off the heat and whisk in the white chocolate. Cover and warm for 5 minutes, whisking occasionally. Stir in the vanilla.
Divide the hot chocolate among two larger mugs or four smaller ones. Top with whipped cream and sprinkles, as desired.
