Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Blue food coloring or butterfly pea powder (for natural color)
- Optional: edible glitter or sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
- Warm the Milk: Heat 2 cups of milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it’s warm but not boiling, to ensure it blends well with the chocolate without scorching.
- Melt the White Chocolate: Add 1 cup of white chocolate chips to the warm milk and stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Flavor and Color: Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract followed by blue food coloring or butterfly pea powder to achieve the desired vibrant ocean-blue color.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the hot chocolate into mugs and optionally top with edible glitter or sprinkles to enhance the whimsical mermaid theme.
Notes
- Butterfly pea powder provides a natural blue hue without artificial dyes.
- For a tropical twist, add a dash of coconut extract along with the vanilla.
- Use high-quality white chocolate chips for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
- If using food coloring, add gradually to control the shade of blue.
