🍓 Strawberry Hot Chocolate Recipe

✅ Ingredients:

• 2 cups milk (dairy or any plant-based alternative like almond, oat, or soy)

• 1/2 cup fresh or frozen strawberries (hulled)

• 2 tbsp white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate

• 1 tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)

• 1–2 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

• Optional: Whipped cream, marshmallows, extra strawberries for garnish

🥣 Instructions:

1. Blend the strawberries:

   • In a blender, puree the strawberries until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve if you want a smoother texture (optional).

2. Heat the milk:

   • In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk until it begins to steam but doesn’t boil.

3. Add chocolate and cocoa:

   • Stir in the white chocolate chips and cocoa powder. Whisk continuously until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.

4. Add strawberry puree and flavorings:

   • Stir in the strawberry puree, sugar, and vanilla extract. Let it heat for another 1–2 minutes until everything is well blended and hot.

5. Serve:

   • Pour into mugs and top with whipped cream, mini marshmallows, or sliced strawberries.

🍫 Tips:

• For a vegan version, use dairy-free white chocolate and plant-based milk.

• If you want it extra creamy, swap half the milk for heavy cream or coconut milk.

• Add a small pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.
