Strawberry Hot Chocolate
A mug of flavored hot chocolate is a delicious way to show your love. Make it pink and strawberry and savor every sip of this sweet drink.
I love the addition of whipped cream and pretty heart sprinkles, because why not?
Since this is a strawberry flavored drink, feel free to add a fresh strawberry on top too!
Feel free to add as much or as little of the red food coloring as you want to get the desired shade of pink that you like.
If you want to keep it simple and have a basic white hot chocolate just replace the strawberry extract with vanilla extract and leave out the food coloring.
So you can skip the fancy coffee shop because every sip of this recipe variation tastes like the white hot chocolate at Starbucks!
You can top this hot chocolate with a flavored cold foam too, just like they do in those trendy coffee shops!
Go all out and make this hot drink one to remember with a drizzle of strawberry syrup, mini marshmallows and a fresh strawberry topping too!
Pretty in pink, this strawberry hot cocoa will warm you up and make you feel loved on Valentine's Day.
Be sure to give my hot cocoa mix a try too!
