🛒 Ingredients

👩🍳 Directions
Step 1: Make the Raspberry Puree
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine raspberries and sugar.
Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring, until the berries soften and release their juices.
Mash gently and strain through a fine sieve to remove seeds (optional).
Set aside.
💡 Pro Tip: You can skip straining for a rustic texture or blend the berries for a smoother consistency.
Step 2: Heat the Milk
In a clean saucepan, warm the milk over medium-low heat until steaming (don’t boil).
Add white chocolate and whisk constantly until melted and silky smooth.
Step 3: Add Raspberry & Vanilla
Whisk in the raspberry puree and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
Step 4: Serve & Garnish
Pour into your favorite mug.
Top with whipped cream, a drizzle of raspberry puree, and a sprinkle of white chocolate curls or a few fresh raspberries.
