How to Make Strawberry White Hot Chocolate
Some strawberry hot chocolates get their flavor from pureed strawberries, and some get it from strawberry milk, but we use strawberry ice-cream to add the flavor to this hot chocolate recipe. It has a smoother texture than the puree and is sweeter than the milk.
Although we use white chocolate chips in the hot chocolate, we use traditional chocolate candy melts to coat the rim, creating a hot chocolate recipe that has the best of both chocolates.
While the chocolate rims are setting, the hot chocolate is made over the stove by heating up, white chocolate chips, strawberry ice-cream, sugar, butter, and water.
