Ingredients

  • 500 ml whole milk
  • 150 ml Double (heavy) cream
  • 100 g chocolate dark; broken into pieces
  • 60 g chocolate milk; broken into pieces

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Put all of the ingredients in the slow cooker.
  2. Cook on low for 2 and a half hours. Stir twice during cooking.

Notes

  • For best results, stir twice during cooking. This will prevent everything from separating. However, if that isn't an option, then just give it a good stir before serving.
  • If you don't want to make this in the slow cooker, then you can follow this exact recipe on a hob. Cook on a low heat, stirring often.
  • To give the hot chocolate some frothiness, then whisk really well before serving.
  • Make sure to use whole milk, as it's what helps to make the slow cooker hot chocolate really thick and creamy.
  • Use the best quality chocolate you can, as you really will be able to taste the difference.
  • Add a pinch of chilli powder to your hot chocolate for a little kick of heat.
  • Add even more of a chocolate flavour with a couple of tablespoons of cocoa powder mixed in.
