Description

A whimsical and colorful Unicorn Hot Chocolate made with creamy milk, white hot chocolate mix, and pink food coloring, topped with whipped cream, sprinkles, and marshmallows for a magical treat.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1¾ cup whole milk
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 5 tbsp white hot chocolate mix
  • Pink food coloring, to desired amount

Optional Garnishes

  • ⅓ cup white candy melts
  • Sprinkles
  • Whipped topping
  • Mini marshmallows
  • Melted pink candy melts


Instructions

  1. Heat milk and cream: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the milk and heavy cream together until bubbles form around the edges, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes.
  2. Add hot chocolate mix and color: Whisk in the white hot chocolate mix until fully combined, then stir in your desired amount of pink food coloring.
  3. Melt candy melts (optional): Microwave white candy melts, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth and melted for dipping rims.
  4. Prepare sprinkle rim (optional): Dip each glass into melted candy melts, then immediately into sprinkles. Let set for 1-2 minutes before filling.
  5. Serve hot chocolate: Remove the hot chocolate from heat and pour into two 10-ounce or larger serving mugs to allow space for toppings.
  6. Add toppings: Top generously with whipped cream, mini marshmallows, additional sprinkles, and drizzled melted colored candy melts on each mug.
  7. Enjoy: Serve your Unicorn Hot Chocolate warm or cold as preferred.

Notes

  • Store leftover hot chocolate in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Do not freeze this hot chocolate as texture and flavor may be compromised.
  • Reheat leftovers on the stovetop or microwave, stirring well before serving.
  • Choose sprinkles, candy, and marshmallows in a matching color scheme for the best visual effect.
  • Clear mugs showcase the vibrant colors of the Unicorn Hot Chocolate beautifully.
  • This drink can be enjoyed either warm or cold depending on your preference.
