Our super easy, homemade Crock Pot Hot Chocolate recipe is perfect for enjoying with a crowd on those chilly winter days!
Ingredients
- 5 cups whole milk
- 16 oz heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of kosher salt
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine: put the milk, heavy cream, cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla, and salt in the crock pot. Whisk to fully combine.
- Chocolate Chips: add chocolate chips and mix again.
- Cook: warm the slow cooker to the low setting for 1 hour.
- Whisk Again: Give the whole pot another whisk before serving.
- Warm + Serve: Keep the crock pot on warm and serve, as needed.
Notes
- Dairy Free Option: To make dairy free crock pot hot chocolate, simply use the following ingredients and follow the same instructions: 3 cans full fat coconut milk; 1.5 cup unsweetened almond milk; 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons cocoa powder; 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons coconut sugar; 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt; 1/3 cup dairy free chocolate chips
- Variations: Make this crock pot hot chocolate your own with peppermint, espresso, booze of your choice, or caramel!
- Scalding Milk: This is unlikely in this recipe as we're never raising our crock pot temp higher than the low setting. If you increase the temp, be sure to stir your hot chocolate occasionally.
