Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 2 hours
Total Time 2 hours 5 minutes
Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups Heavy whipping cream For richness
  • 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk 1 standard can
  • 6 cups Whole milk Can substitute 2% but whole is creamier
  • 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips High quality chips melt best
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract Pure vanilla is best
  • 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder Sifted if lumpy
  • 1 pinch Salt To balance the sweetness (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Add the heavy whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder into a 4-quart or larger slow cooker.
  • Whisk the ingredients vigorously to combine, ensuring the cocoa powder is mostly incorporated into the liquid.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 2 hours. Stir occasionally (every 30-45 minutes) to ensure the chocolate chips melt evenly and do not stick to the bottom.
  • Once the mixture is hot and the chocolate is completely melted and smooth, switch the slow cooker to the WARM setting.
  • Whisk one last time before serving to froth the mixture slightly. Ladle into mugs and top with marshmallows or whipped cream.
