If youā€™ve been following my blog, you know I have many hot chocolate recipes that readers love.

Iā€™ve shared everything from Red Velvet Hot Chocolate to Blue Christmas Hot Chocolate, Starbucks-inspired Sugar Cookie Hot Chocolate, and White Hot Chocolate ā€” just to name a few.

My family and I are fully in Christmas mode. Iā€™ve been baking cookie after cookie (search ā€œcookiesā€ on the blog to see them all). Weā€™ve decorated the house to feel festive, and weā€™ve been indulging in far too much hot chocolate.

This version is especially decadent ā€” a silky white hot chocolate crowned with homemade cotton candy whipped cream. The whipped cream practically deserves its own recipe; itā€™s that good.

Ingredients

Hot Chocolate

  • 4 C whole milk
  • 1 C Ghirardelli white chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 drops of pink food coloring

Cotton candy whipped cream

  • 2 C cold heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 C powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp cotton candy extract
  • 2 drops of pink food coloring
  • 1 pouch of purple sprinkles

Instructions

Hot Chocolate directions:

  • Place the milk, white chocolate chips, and vanilla in a medium saucepan.
  • Whisk continuously over medium-low heat until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and add a couple drops of pink food coloring to achieve a pale sugar-plum hue if desired.

Whipped cream directions:

  • Using a stand mixer (or a hand mixer), combine the cold heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, cotton candy extract, and a couple drops of pink food coloring. Beat on medium-high until stiff peaks form.
  • Divide the hot white chocolate among serving glasses or mugs, then pipe or spoon the cotton candy whipped cream on top.
  • Finish with purple sprinkles for a festive touch and serve immediately.
