Ingredients
Scale
Liquid Ingredients
- 1¾ cup whole milk
- ¼ cup heavy cream
Main Flavorings
- 5 tbsp white hot chocolate mix
- Pink food coloring (to desired amount)
Optional Decorations
- ⅓ cup white candy melts
- Sprinkles
- Melted pink candy melts
- Whipped cream topping
- Mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Heat Milk and Cream: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the whole milk and heavy cream together, stirring occasionally, until bubbles appear around the edges, about 3 minutes.
- Add Hot Chocolate Mix and Color: Whisk in the white hot chocolate mix until fully dissolved, then stir in pink food coloring to achieve your desired shade.
- Prepare Chocolate Sprinkle Rim (Optional): Melt white candy melts in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Dip the rims of serving glasses into the melted candy, then immediately into sprinkles. Allow to set for 1-2 minutes before pouring the hot chocolate.
- Serve Hot Chocolate: Remove the hot chocolate from heat and pour into two 10-ounce or larger mugs to allow room for toppings.
- Add Toppings: Generously top each mug with whipped cream, mini marshmallows, additional sprinkles, and drizzle melted colored candy melts for a festive look.
- Serve Warm or Cold: Enjoy your magical Unicorn Hot Chocolate either warm or chilled, according to preference.
Notes
- Store leftover hot chocolate in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Do not freeze leftover hot chocolate as texture may be compromised.
- Reheat leftovers on the stovetop or microwave, stirring well before serving.
- Choose sprinkles, candy melts, and marshmallows that match your color theme for the best visual appeal.
- Using clear mugs enhances the colorful and whimsical look of the Unicorn Hot Chocolate.
