The Best Crockpot Hot Chocolate
Description
The Best Crockpot Hot Chocolate blends finely chopped dark and milk chocolates with whole milk and heavy whipping cream. Cooking slowly on low heat in a crockpot, the mixture is whisked periodically to ensure the chocolate fully melts and integrates with the dairy base, creating a silky smooth texture. Continuing to cook keeps it warm without burning. This method produces a hot chocolate that is creamy and balanced in sweetness, combining the richness of dark chocolate with the smoothness of milk chocolate.
The resulting hot chocolate is perfect for serving in mugs as a comforting beverage. It can be enjoyed plain or with toppings such as whipped cream or marshmallows, enhancing its indulgence. The crockpot method is convenient when serving a group as it keeps the drink warm over time.
Ingredients
- 4 cups milk whole
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 3.5 oz dark chocolate finely chopped
- 8 oz milk chocolate finely chopped
Instructions
- Turn the crockpot on the low heat setting. Add in the milk, heavy whipping cream, and chopped chocolate. Stir together.
- Cook the hot chocolate, whisking every 20-30 minutes to help the chocolate melt. After about 90 minutes, the mixture should be fully melted and silky smooth. Continue cooking for 30 more minutes.
- Turn the heat setting to "keep warm" while serving. Pour the hot chocolate into a mug and enjoy with your favorite toppings!
