Print Recipe

A whimsical and colorful twist on traditional hot chocolate, this Pastel Cotton Candy Hot Chocolate is sweet, creamy, and perfect for parties or cozy treats. Made with white chocolate and pastel colors, it mimics the flavor and fun of cotton candy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp cotton candy flavoring
  • Pink, blue, and purple food coloring (gel preferred)
  • Whipped cream (for topping)
  • Pastel sprinkles (for garnish)
  • Cotton candy (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add milk and white chocolate chips.
  2. Whisk constantly until the chocolate chips are melted and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Add vanilla extract and cotton candy flavoring; stir to combine.
  4. Divide the mixture into three separate bowls or mugs.
  5. Add a drop of pink, blue, and purple food coloring to each portion and stir until the desired pastel shades are achieved.
  6. Pour each colored hot chocolate carefully into a mug side by side to create a layered pastel effect, or swirl gently for a marble effect.
  7. Top with whipped cream and garnish with pastel sprinkles and a tuft of cotton candy, if using.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy the sweet, whimsical treat!

Notes

  • Use gel food coloring for more vibrant pastel shades without thinning the drink.
  • Do not boil the milk – heat it gently to avoid curdling.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute with almond or oat milk and vegan white chocolate chips.
  • Cotton candy should be added just before serving as it dissolves quickly.
