Ingredients
- 4 cups Whole Milk (or 2% milk, almond milk, or oat milk)
- 1 cup Heavy Cream (or coconut cream or additional milk)
- 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate (chopped, or dark/milk chocolate)
- 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder (Dutch-processed cocoa)
- 1/2 cup Sugar (or maple syrup/honey)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract (or almond extract)
- 1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt (or regular salt)
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients and chop the semi-sweet chocolate into small pieces.
- In your slow cooker, mix the whole milk, heavy cream, cocoa powder, chopped chocolate, sugar, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
- Cover and cook on low for about 120 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the mixture is hot and the chocolate is melted, whisk to combine for a creamy texture.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or flavor as desired.
- Ladle hot chocolate into mugs and add toppings like whipped cream or marshmallows.
Notes
For a fun twist, try adding flavored syrups like peppermint or caramel. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
