Ingredients
- 6 cups milk any kind, but whole milk gives the richest texture
- 1 can 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups chopped semisweet or bittersweet chocolate
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to your crockpot.
- Stir everything together gently.
- Cook on low for 3 to 4 hours or on high for about 2 hours, stirring every 45 minutes.
- Once it’s hot and smooth, it’s ready to serve.
Notes
Use chopped chocolate instead of cocoa powder for a smooth, full flavor. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the chocolate taste. Want it thicker? Reduce the milk or add more chocolate. For leftovers, store in the fridge up to 3 days or freeze in small portions to enjoy later.
