Ingredients

2 cups milk
1 cup frozen strawberries thawed slightly
½ cup white chocolate chips
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Instructions

Warm the milk in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
When the milk begins to simmer, add the white chocolate and strawberries. Whisk constantly until the white chocolate begins melting, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat, and let the white chocolate continue melting.
Pour in the vanilla extract.
Continue whisking until all the white chocolate has melted into the milk mixture.
Use an immersion blender to blend the ingredients into a smooth liquid. You could use a regular blender if you don't have an immersion blender.
Divide between two large mugs, and garnish with marshmallows, additional strawberries and more white chocolate baking chips. Serve immediately!

Notes

How to store: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave until warmed through.

If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can easily blend these ingredients up in a blender or a food processor to make a smooth white hot chocolate!

You can also use FRESH strawberries if you have them on hand. I keep frozen strawberries in the wintertime for things like this because they tend to be sweeter than fresh winter berries, so it's up to you.
