How To Store Strawberry Hot Chocolate
Like any other hot chocolate recipe, this drink is best enjoyed immediately. However, if you want to drink the cold option, you could make this hot chocolate drink and stash it in the fridge for up to two days and drink it as Iced Cold Strawberry Milk.
Variations
You can do so many things with Strawberry Hot Chocolate. Some delicious topping ideas include mini marshmallows, chocolate sprinkles, and fresh fruit like raspberries and blueberries. You could also use Dutch Cocoa Powder to make this drink even more chocolatey!
Milk Swaps: You can use almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk for this recipe if you are dairy-free and use coconut whipped cream instead of regular whipped cream.
What's the difference between hot chocolate and hot cocoa?
Hot Chocolate is made using solid chocolate melted in warm milk or cream. Hot Cocoa, however, is made from a powdered base of cocoa with added sugar and dissolved in hot water or hot milk. This recipe is considered hot chocolate because we use chocolate as the base.
Top Tip
Don't let the milk curdle. Heat the milk at a medium to lower temperature and let it slowly heat up so the milk doesn't curdle or burn.
