Ingredients

Whipped Cream
  • Pint-sized mason jar with lid
  • 1/4 cup cold heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • Dash of Vanilla optional
Pink Hot Chocolate
  • 2 cups milk
  • 4 oz good-quality white chocolate chopped
  • 2-4 drops red food coloring
  • Sprinkles optional

Instructions

Whipped Cream
    Cup of Yum
  1. Put your mason jar in the freezer for 15 minutes, so it is very cold.
  2. Pour in cream, sugar, and vanilla.
  3. 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.
Hot Chocolate
  1. 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
  1. Pour into cups, spoon on whipped cream, and top with sprinkles.
  2. 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. ;) )
