In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of whole milk and 1 cup of heavy whipping cream over medium heat. Stir gently for about 5 minutes until the mixture is steaming but not boiling.

Pour the Strawberry Hot Chocolate into mugs and top with whipped cream, fresh strawberries, white chocolate shavings, and sprinkles.
