    ★ Ingredients You'll Need ★

    You only need 4 ingredients to pull off this super cute drink! Plus sprinkles and any other extras you might want to top it off with.

    Ingredient for Hot Whipped Strawberry Milk

    Here's everything you'll need:

    • Strawberry Nesquick. This is a powder, not a syrup. I've tried making this with strawberry syrup and it's not as good.
    • Milk. You can use any milk from whole to skim. Whole milk will give you a much more rich and creamy taste. Skim, a much thinner texture and less rich flavor. This is up to your personal preference.
    • Heavy whipping cream. You'll be adding some Nesquick powder to this then whipping it to create a really pretty and delicious strawberry whipped cream!
    • Mini marshmallows. You could do regular mini marshmallows, freeze-dried marshmallow or both!

    Sprinkles are optional but highly encouraged. 🙂

    ★ How to Prepare this Recipe ★

    Here are the basic steps. The full recipe is outlined below.

    How to Make Hot Strawberry Milk
    • Whip the heavy whipping cream then add Nesquick powder.
    • Stir Nesquick into milk and heat.
    • Top hot strawberry milk with strawberry whipped cream.
    • Add marshmallows, sprinkles and any other extras.
    • Serve hot!

    ★ Tips & FAQs★

    Flavored with Strawberry Nesquick

    The powder works great here and the fun part is you can add as much or as little strawberry flavoring as you'd like.

    Could you use strawberry syrup?

    You can in a pinch. However, I prefer the taste of Strawberry Nesquick powder.

    Adjusting the Color

    If you want to go light on the strawberry flavor but don't want to loose that pretty pink color, you can always add a drop or two of red food coloring.

    Enjoy this drink hot or cold.

    You can make this pretty pink drink hot or cold.

    To enjoy it as cold strawberry milk, simply start with cold milk instead of warming it. The Nesquick powder dissolves nicely even in cold milk when you give it a good stir.

    Turn this into a cocktail!

    Want to celebrate with a very fun and festive Valentine's Day cocktail?

    Just add whipped cream vodka! Add 1.5 oz (1 shot) to your drink and stir before adding the whipped strawberry cream. Be sure to use a large enough glass to accommodate the extra 1.5oz. Also, feel free to add less according to your preference. Ages 21+ of course!
