Strawberry White Hot Chocolate (Dairy Free)

I couldn’t help myself.  I’m in the Valentine’s Day spirit and had to create another treat, perfect for two.

Strawberry White Hot Chocolate

Who doesn’t love a good cup of hot chocolate?  What if I told you that you could easily make a strawberry white hot chocolate with only 5 REAL food ingredients?  Would you be as excited as I am?  I thought so!  You are in luck because I have created just that for you – just in time for Valentine’s Day.

If you take a look at any package of white chocolate you will usually find added ingredients, which I personally try to stay away from in the name of health. A main difference between white chocolate and milk or dark chocolate is the lack of cocoa solids.

Cocoa Butter is a Natural Aphrodisiac

When you remove the cocoa solids you remove most of the flavor, so to make white “chocolate” other ingredients must be added – like sugar, lecithin (usually soy), and other flavorings for taste.  Cheap versions may not contain cocoa butter at all. I prefer to use cocoa butter alone and add my own flavorings so I know they are top quality.

Strawberry White Hot Chocolate 2

Cocoa butter is the fat from cocoa beans, which is extracted from cocoa beans as they are processed to make chocolate and cocoa powder.  Using the butter from cocoa is the perfect way to add the flavor of chocolate without other unnecessary additives.  Perfect for a cozy cup of Strawberry White Hot Chocolate.

Cuddle up with someone special and share this warming beverage any time of the year!

    1. I have a link in the post to where you can get it on Amazon or I have seen it at Natural Grocers and some Whole Foods. I just try to find an organic brand…there are a few to choose from. Any one will do.

    Yum what a perfect way to end the day, cuddles on the couch and two of these hot cuppas. I’ve never tried to make anything like this before but looking through your ingredient list has me ready and raring to get started. Coconut milk, maple syrup, cocoa butter, strawberries.. literally heaven right there. 🙂

    I love this recipe! When I was a kid, my mom used to make me strawberry milk, but I think I would enjoy this a lot more with the white chocolate and the real strawberries rather than powdered! I also love the idea of using coconut milk which is my favorite! Can’t wait to try it! 🙂

    This looks super duper delicious, and it is so pretty – perfect for Valentine’s Day. I love white chocolate, and the combination with strawberries, especially for a cold winter evening, sounds perfect. Thanks!

  4. This recipe looks delicious! I never had strawberry white hot chocolate – how lovely sounding! I’m excited to try this – on my next stop to Whole Foods, I’m going to look for cocoa butter! 🙂

  5. This looks and sounds delicious! And I love the way you made it healthier by using the cocoa butter. I didn’t know how much more sugar white chocolate had in it than my dark chocolate. Thanks for enlightening me.

    OMG! That sounds yummy!

    One little bit of constructive criticism. The link provided is not food grade cocoa butter. Now, that being said I don’t know how bad non-food grade can be for you. Just pointing out that you “should not” consume cocoa butter that isn’t food grade.
