Ingredients
For the Hot Chocolate:
- 4 cups heavy cream, divided
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 cups whole milk
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 12 ounces semi-sweet baking bar, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Optional Toppings:
- candy canes
- marshmallows
- whipped cream
- sprinkles
Instructions
- Pour in two cups of the heavy cream into the slow cooker insert. Add the unsweetened cocoa powder and whisk until fully combined.
- Whisk in the remaining two cups of heavy cream, whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, chopped baking chocolate, and vanilla extract. Continue whisking until all the ingredients are combined.
- Set your crockpot to low and cook for 3 hours, stirring about every 20 minutes until the chocolate has fully melted and combined with the other ingredients. For serving, set the crockpot to its “warm” setting for up to 3 hours. If you find the hot chocolate getting too thick as it sits, stir in more milk to thin it out.
- Serve your hot chocolate with your favorite toppings. Marshmallows, whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, crushed candy canes, or a sprinkle of cinnamon are some of my favorites! Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
Notes
- Storage Information:
To store leftover hot chocolate, let cool then transfer to a pitcher. Store covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
You can heat individual mugs of hot chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals until warmed through. To reheat the whole pitcher, pour into a small pot and heat on the stovetop (stirring frequently) until warmed through.
