Slow Cooker White Christmas Hot Chocolate is the perfect hot cocoa to serve at a holiday party or enjoy with the kids all winter season long. This delicious drink is so easy to make with just four ingredients; even your kids can do it!
Why you should make slow cooker white hot chocolate
Starbucks white hot chocolate quickly becomes one of the most popular hot drinks of the season, and rightfully so. But with this homemade white hot chocolate recipe, you can make your own for a fraction of the cost. White chocolate chips are slowly melted with heavy cream, milk, and vanilla in a crock pot for the perfect warm drink to enjoy on a cold day and taste just as good as a coffee shop cocoa.
Recipe Ingredients
- White Chocolate Chips: When mixed with other ingredients, completely melted chocolate chips make the perfect drink. You don’t need to add sugar, for the white chocolate chips are already very sweet.
- Heavy Cream: This is a thickener and will not curdle when heated. The cream also acts as an enrichment of flavor.
- Whole Milk: Milk helps what would be white chocolate sauce become a creamy beverage that’s not too thick.
- Vanilla Extract: Adds the perfect vanilla flavor to the white chocolate.
Step-by-Step Directions
Step One – Add white chocolate chips to the bottom of the slow cooker.
Step Two – Pour heavy cream, milk, and vanilla extract and stir.
Step Three – Cook on LOW for 3 hours (stirring halfway through the cooking time).
Step Four – Ladle a scoop or two into mugs and add the toppings of your choice. Serve and enjoy!
How to Serve
- Cocoa toppings have always been the highlight of the drink. I love hearing about the different toppings people like to serve on their white hot chocolate. A few favorites are marshmallows, a dollop of whipped cream, shaved white chocolate to make it a “White Christmas” hot chocolate. This white cocoa is great to serve when watching the movie White Christmas.
- When it comes to switching up the flavor a bit, you can add a mini candy cane at the bottom of the mug and add a drop of peppermint extract for a minty flavor. Adding a cinnamon stick and a dash of ground cinnamon on top will give you another seasonal taste.
