This Easy Crockpot Hot Chocolate recipe delivers a rich, creamy, and perfectly sweetened treat that’s effortlessly made in your slow cooker. Using simple ingredients like heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and cocoa powder, you can enjoy decadent hot chocolate with minimal prep and no constant stirring.

Ingredients

Scale

Hot Chocolate Mixture

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 cups milk (whole milk preferred, skim milk can be used)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crockpot: Add the heavy whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, unsweetened cocoa powder, and milk into the crockpot. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
  2. Heat the Mixture: Set the crockpot to low heat and cook for 2 to 3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to ensure the chocolate melts completely and the mixture is well blended.
  3. Add Vanilla: When the hot chocolate is heated through and smooth, stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
  4. Serve Warm: Ladle the hot chocolate into mugs and enjoy immediately. For extra indulgence, top with whipped cream or marshmallows if desired.

Notes

  • Stirring periodically prevents the chocolate from settling and burning on the bottom of the crockpot.
  • Use whole milk for a creamier texture; skim milk can make it lighter but less rich.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less sweetened condensed milk or chocolate chips according to taste.
  • Leftover hot chocolate can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
