Pioneer Woman Crock Pot Hot Chocolate Recipe
This Pioneer Woman Crock Pot Hot Chocolate Recipe is perfect for you. It is creamy and very rich.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups heavy cream.
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 oz.
- 6 cups whole milk.
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- 1 pinch of sea salt.
- Marshmallows for the top.
Instructions
Mix the Liquids
- First, pour the whole milk into the pot. Add the heavy cream next. Pour in the sweetened condensed milk. Use a whisk to mix them well.
Add the Chocolate
- Now, dump in all the chocolate chips. Add the vanilla extract and salt. The salt makes the chocolate taste better. Give it one quick stir.
Set the Heat
- Cover the crock pot with the lid. Turn the heat to Low. Do not use the High setting. Low heat prevents the milk from burning.
Cook and Stir
- Cook the mixture for two hours. Stir it every 30 minutes. This helps the chocolate melt smoothly. It should look very glossy.
Check the Temperature
- The chocolate chips should be fully melted. The milk should be hot but not boiling. Stir one last time before serving.
Serve and Enjoy
- Use a ladle to fill your mugs. Leave some room at the top. Add lots of marshmallows or cream. Drink it while it is hot.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for better flavor.
- Stir often to stop chocolate from sticking.
- Never let the milk reach a boil.
- Add a cinnamon stick for extra spice.
- Use whole milk for the creamiest texture.
- Keep the pot on "Warm" during parties.
- Top with crushed peppermint for a minty twist.
