Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries
  • 1 quarter cup sugar
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips or 1 bag
  • ¼ cup Sprinkles
  • Fresh whipped cream and more fresh strawberries for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Trim the strawberries and slice them in halves.
  • Add the chopped strawberries and sugar to a blender and blend on high until a strawberry puree forms. Set aside. 
  • Add the whole milk and white chocolate chips to a saucepan and stir over medium heat until the chocolate melts and turns into white hot chocolate.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the strawberry syrup into the prepared hot chocolate mix.
  • Put a mesh nut-milk bag or fine metal strainer over the blender and pour the prepared strawberry hot chocolate into the blender. This removes the strawberry seeds from the hot chocolate.
  • Pour prepared strawberry hot chocolate into glasses or mugs, and top with fresh whipped cream, sprinkles, or marshmallows.
  • Garnish with a strawberry slice and enjoy! Drink immediately.

Notes

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
