Ingredients

Scale

12 oz. can evaporated milk: adds richness and body
12 oz. white chocolate chips: creates a creamy, sweet base
2 cups half and half: enhances the creamy texture
2 cups whole milk: balances the richness
Few drops red food coloring: gives the signature pink color
Whipped cream: light and airy topping
Sprinkles or mini marshmallows: adds a festive finish

Instructions

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the white chocolate chips with the evaporated milk. Stir continuously until smooth.
Add the whole milk and half and half, whisking to combine and ensure a silky consistency.
Heat the mixture gently over low-medium heat, stirring every couple of minutes. Do not boil.
Add red food coloring one drop at a time until the desired pink hue is reached.
Remove from heat or reduce to a simmer to keep warm until serving.
Pour into mugs or jars and top with whipped cream, marshmallows, and sprinkles as desired.

Notes

You can substitute 2% milk, but it will be less creamy.
White chocolate bars can be used in place of chips; just chop them finely.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat gently.
Try natural coloring alternatives like beet powder or raspberry juice.
