Ingredients
Whipped Cream
- Pint-sized mason jar with lid
- 1/4 cup heavy cream cold
- 1 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- vanilla extract optional, dash
Pink Hot Chocolate
- 2 cups milk
- 4 oz white chocolate chopped, good-quality
- 2-4 red food coloring drops
- Sprinkles optional
Instructions
Whipped Cream
- Put your mason jar in the freezer for 15 minutes, so it is very cold.
- Pour in cream, sugar, and vanilla.
- Screw on lid and wrap the jar in a towel if it is too cold to hold. Shake vigorously until you no longer hear liquid sloshing inside, about 5-7 minutes. Check the consistency of your whipped cream before setting in the refrigerator while you make your hot chocolate.
Cup of Yum
Hot Chocolate
- In a small saucepan, heat milk. Add chocolate and stir until completely dissolved and milk reaches desired temperature. Do not allow to boil. Remove from heat and stir in food coloring.
Assemble
- Pour into cups, spoon on whipped cream, and top with sprinkles.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- To make whipped cream without a mason jar, simply add the cream, sugar, and optional vanilla to a medium-sized chilled bowl and beat by hand or with an electric hand mixer until soft peaks form. (This method isn't quite as fun, but it is undeniably faster. ;) )
