Crockpot Hot Chocolate – An ideal mate for cozy nights

Crockpot hot chocolate, also known as slow cooker hot chocolate, is a rich and creamy hot chocolate made by combining milk, cream, chocolate, and other flavorings in a slow cooker or crockpot. The ingredients are gently heated and simmered for several hours, allowing the flavors to meld together and creating a deliciously decadent beverage.

This chocolate drink likely evolved from the tradition of making hot chocolate on the stovetop or in a saucepan. Slow cooker versions of hot chocolate offer a convenient and hands-off method for preparing large batches of the warm beverage, making it perfect for gatherings, parties, or simply cozy evenings at home.

Crockpot hot chocolate can be customized with various ingredients and flavorings to suit individual preferences. Common additions include cocoa powder, chocolate chips, vanilla extract, sweetened condensed milk, and even spices like cinnamon or nutmeg. Some recipes also call for toppings such as whipped cream, marshmallows, or chocolate shavings to add an extra touch of indulgence.

Preparing crockpot hot chocolate is incredibly easy and yields a rich, creamy, and delicious beverage that’s perfect for serving a crowd, making it a convenient option for entertaining or simply enjoying a cozy night in. Here’s a basic recipe to guide you through the process:

Ingredients:

6 cups whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (you can adjust the amount to your taste)
Optional toppings: whipped cream, marshmallows, chocolate shavings, cinnamon sticks

Cook the hot chocolate:

Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to low heat.
Allow the hot chocolate to cook for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is hot and creamy. Be careful not to let it boil.

Ladle the hot chocolate into mugs and serve with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, marshmallows, chocolate shavings, or cinnamon sticks.
