Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (480 ml) whole milk (or almond/oat milk for dairy-free option)
- 1 cup (170 g) white chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons rose syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon edible dried rose petals
Instructions
- Pour 2 cups (480 ml) of whole milk into a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until hot but not boiling.
- Add 1 cup (170 g) of white chocolate chips to the warm milk. Whisk gently until fully melted and smooth. Lower heat if needed and keep stirring.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of rose syrup and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Watch the milk turn a soft pink and enjoy the floral scent.
- Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of cold heavy whipping cream into a chilled bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar. Beat with an electric mixer or whisk until soft peaks form.
- Pour the creamy pink hot chocolate into heatproof mugs. Top generously with whipped cream and sprinkle a teaspoon of edible dried rose petals on top.
- Serve immediately while warm and fresh. Keep whipped cream refrigerated if prepared ahead and add just before serving.
Notes
Use high-quality rose syrup for best flavor. If hot chocolate is too thick, add more milk; if too thin, whisk in extra melted white chocolate. Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream for better results. Whip cream just before serving to keep it fresh.
