Easy Pink Hot Chocolate Recipe | Julie Blanner (2024)

Pink Hot Chocolate is a whimsical warm wintery drink – a twist on traditional hot chocolate. Made with white chocolate, this four ingredient warming drink is easy to make and perfect to cosy up with in the colder months.

The holidays are already filled with an evening at the theater to see Annie, brunch with Santa and an array of Christmas light displays. Sometimes, I just enjoy celebrating at home, cozied up with a cup of hot cocoa, nestled in on our tiny love seat in our pajamas.

Inspired by our pink Christmas decorations, I mixed up something sweet for the girls – pink hot chocolate. With three girls, we love all things pink and I wanted to make a special drink that feels just as magical as the season.

Love hot chocolate and want a more grown up version? Don’t miss my delicious spiked hot chocolate– it’s got a delicious taste of peppermint schnapps!

A Creamy Hot Chocolate Recipe

Last weekend, we visited our favorite theme park, Silver Dollar City and lines were filled with 50+ people hoping to get their hands on a cup of powdered water hot cocoa.

The shame! I never understood making hot chocolate with water…we prefer ours creamy. I suggest you use whole milk for the most creamy chocolate, but you can use 2% if you prefer.
