Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 6 cups milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Chocolate

  • 2 cups chocolate chips (milk chocolate OR semi-sweet)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the heavy whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk, milk, vanilla extract, and chocolate chips into your crockpot. Whisk all the ingredients together until they are well combined for a smooth mixture.
  2. Cook Slowly: Cover the crockpot and set it on low heat. Let the mixture cook for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure the chocolate melts evenly and blends well with the liquids, resulting in a creamy consistency.
  3. Final Whisk and Serve: Before serving, whisk the hot chocolate thoroughly to smooth out any remaining lumps or chocolate pieces. Use a ladle to serve warm, and enjoy your comforting hot chocolate.

Notes

  • Use milk chocolate for a sweeter taste or semi-sweet chocolate chips for a less sweet, richer flavor.
  • Stir occasionally during cooking to prevent the chocolate from sticking to the crockpot’s bottom.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently; add a splash of milk when reheating to maintain creaminess.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and cream with almond or coconut milk and use dairy-free chocolate chips.
