Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Hot Chocolate:
  • 4 cups heavy cream divided
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups chopped chocolate bar or semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon salt
Whipped Cream:
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Hot Chocolate:
  1. Add 2 cups of heavy cream to the slow cooker, whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth. Add the remaining 2 cups of heavy cream.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients: milk, sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk all ingredients for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Cover and cook on Low for 5 hours or High for 3 hours, stirring occasionally until ready to serve.
Whipped Cream:
  1. Beat whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes with a hand mixer, or 5 minutes manually by hand.
  2. For best results, keep ingredients and equipment cold and begin mixing on low speed. As ingredients become incorporated, increase speed.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight pitcher or glass jar. Reheat by the cup in the microwave in 30-second increments until warm.
  • Make this recipe on the stovetop by heating all ingredients over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat when fully warmed and serve.
