Ingredients

Scale

12 oz raspberries, fresh or defrosted from frozen: for fruity flavor and natural pink color
2 tbsp granulated sugar: to sweeten and release raspberry juices
2 cups milk: creates a smooth, creamy base
1/2 cup heavy cream: adds richness and velvety texture
6 oz white chocolate, finely chopped: provides sweet, creamy body
1 tsp vanilla extract: enhances overall flavor
Pinch of salt: balances sweetness

Instructions

Combine raspberries and sugar in a bowl. Let sit for 10–15 minutes to soften and release juices.
Blend the raspberries until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. Set aside purée.
In a medium saucepan, combine milk and cream. Heat over medium heat until it simmers, but do not boil.
Remove from heat, add chopped white chocolate, and whisk until melted and smooth.
Stir in raspberry purée, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
Pour into mugs and serve hot, topped with whipped cream and fresh raspberries if desired.

Notes

Use white chocolate bars made with cocoa butter for best texture and flavor.
Add more milk if a thinner consistency is preferred.
Can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to a week.
Reheat gently on the stove or microwave before serving.
