It’s been super chilly here lately, so we’re drinking lots of hot chocolate. This Strawberry Pink Hot Chocolate is perfect for drinking now or on Valentine’s Day with our Roll a Sweet Valentine Dice Game! This post contains affiliate links.

My kids LOVE themed Hot Chocolate drinks. Do yours? One of our favorites is my Coco Inspired Mexican Hot Chocolate. I just recently made a batch for our Encanto movie night over the holidays topped with with whipped cream and gold sugar sprinkles. So good!

What do you need to make Strawberry Pink Hot Chocolate?
This recipe is enough to make for two people.

You will need:
- milk
- vanilla extract
- white chocolate chips
- cream cheese cut into small pieces
- strawberry syrup (or strawberry puree)
- pink food coloring – optional
- whipped cream, if desired
How do you make Strawberry Pink Hot Chocolate?
I love making hot chocolate on the stove. There is nothing like made from scratch hot chocolate using melted chocolate and basic ingredients. It always tastes so much better.
In a medium saucepan, warm up the milk over medium heat for 2 minutes as you assemble the ingredients.
Whisk in the vanilla and cream cheese until melted.

Whisk in the white chocolate until melted and smooth.
If you’re having a struggle to get everything blended together, an immersion blender works well, too. You can use the whisk attachment for the hot chocolate. I use mine all the time.
Just a word of caution — if you use the immersion blender and not the whisk attachment, make sure it’s is completely submerged or you risk getting burned from things splattering up on you if it’s not totally submerged. For this reason, when I use an immersion blender on hot stuff, I drape a towel around the top of the bowl or pan and hold it around the immersion blender to prevent anything from splattering on me.
Add the strawberry syrup or strawberry puree last, and adjust the color as desired with the food coloring.
You can use store bought strawberry syrup, but if you want to make fresh strawberry syrup, I have a super simple recipe. It’s perfect to keep on hand to use for ice cream or add to salad.
Ladle into your mugs and add whipped cream.
Can I make Strawberry Pink Hot Chocolate from a Hot Cocoa Mix?
Yes you can! If you don’t have the time or just want it quicker, you can get a WHITE hot chocolate mix and just add pink food coloring. It works perfect and is super easy to do!
