  • 6 cups whole milk Do not use skim milk for best results
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream Adds thickness and richness
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk 1 standard can
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips High quality chips or chopped bar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder Sifted to remove lumps

Instructions
 

  • Pour the whole milk, heavy whipping cream, and sweetened condensed milk into a 4-quart or larger slow cooker.
  • Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt.
  • Whisk the mixture vigorously until the cocoa powder is mostly incorporated.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 2 hours.
