Crock Pot Hot Cocoa
Crock Pot Cocoa is made from chocolate chips, milk, cream, cocoa powder, and sweetened condensed milk. It’s creamy, delicious, and will warm you right up!
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 6 cups whole milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt optional
- additional toppings such as whipped cream, mini marshmallows, or crushed peppermint candies
Instructions
- In a large slow cooker (4 quart of larger) add the milk, cream, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir to combine. Cover and cook on low for about 2 hours to warm up the mixture.
- 10 minutes before you plan to serve the hot cocoa add the chocolate chips, cocoa powder, and salt if using. Whisk to combine. Stir every few minutes until the chocolate chips melt and everything is fully combined.
- Ladle the hot cocoa into mugs and serve with any additional toppings you might like.
Notes
- Don’t try to speed up the hot chocolate by turning your crock pot to high because you risk curdling the milk and cream.
- Use a cocoa powder that is labeled Dutch processed (it’s usually available in grocery stores) because it’s less bitter than regular cocoa powder.
- It's worth splurging on high-quality chocolate chips for this beverage.
- If you have a large enough slow cooker this is a great recipe to double for a crowd. I served it at our local winter farmer's market and it was a huge hit.
