Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream Opt for fresh cream for best richness.
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk Ensure it's from a reliable brand for optimal taste.
  • 6 cups milk Whole milk gives a richer taste; skim for a lighter version.
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract Use pure vanilla extract for the best flavor.
  • 2 cups chocolate chips Milk chocolate or semi-sweet can be used.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In your crockpot, combine the heavy whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk, and milk. Whisk until blended and smooth.
  2. Stir in the vanilla extract and chocolate chips, ensuring the chips are evenly distributed.
  3. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
  4. Before serving, give it one last whisk to ensure everything is well combined.
  5. Ladle the creamy hot chocolate into mugs, and top with whipped cream, marshmallows, or a sprinkle of chocolate shavings.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days. Adjust sweetness and thickness by varying the amount of sweetened condensed milk and heavy cream.
