Notes

  • Storage: You will want to put any leftover Hot Chocolate in an airtight jar (like a mason jar) and keep it in the fridge for 3-5 days. You can rewarm it on the stove top on medium low until warmed throughout.
  • Serve with whipped cream!
  • Keep pot on "warm" if planning on serving it over a period of time. Easy recipe to double and triple.
  • Recipe tested in 6qt Instant Pot.
