*For Vegan/dairy free, replace the milk/cream with soy, almond, or rice milk. As always, double check that all ingredients are vegan/dairy free/gluten free.*

**For a semi-homemade version, replace the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice with 1/4 cup strawberry milk drink mix, such as Nesquik. Nesquik is not vegan, but my research says it is gluten free. Please be sure to confirm this yourself.**

1 lb. fresh strawberries, hulled
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice

3 cups (750 ml) milk
1 cup (250 ml) heavy cream (for a lighter version, omit the cream and replace with more milk)
1/4 cup white chocolate, chopped

**If you want yours sweeter, add up to an extra half cup of sugar while the mixture is cooking.

Slice the strawberries then toss them in a medium bowl with the sugar and lemon juice. Cover and set aside for one hour.

Stir the strawberry mixture to evenly coat everything, then transfer it to a blender or food processor. Process until completely pureed, then press the strawberries through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds.

Pour the strawberries back into the processor and add the milk and cream. Process until blended.

Transfer the mixture to a small saucepan set over medium heat in the white chocolate.  Cooking over medium heat, whisking almost constantly, until it just barely begins to lightly boil, about 10 minutes; remove from heat.

Transfer to your favorite mug, top with marshmallows or whipped cream, and any other yummy treats.
