  • Total Time: 1 hour 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3 cups milk (750 milliliters)
  • 1 cup Belgian chocolate chips (150 grams)
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Pour 3 cups of milk into your slow cooker. Add 1 cup of Belgian chocolate chips and 3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder. Stir the mixture thoroughly for about 2 minutes until the cocoa powder is fully dissolved in the milk.
  2. Cook the Hot Chocolate: Close the lid of the slow cooker and set it to low heat. Allow the mixture to cook for 1.5 hours. After the first hour, gently stir the hot chocolate to ensure the chocolate melts evenly and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Serve: Once cooking is complete, serve the hot chocolate immediately for the best flavor and warmth. Alternatively, keep it warm in the slow cooker until you’re ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Stirring after one hour ensures even melting and prevents chocolate from settling on the bottom.
  • You can adjust the sweetness by adding sugar or flavored syrups if desired.
  • For a creamier texture, substitute some of the milk with half-and-half or cream.
  • Leftover hot chocolate can be refrigerated and reheated gently on the stovetop or in a microwave.
