Ingredients to Warm Your Heart
To craft this velvety cocoa, you’ll need:
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
• 2 cups milk chocolate chips
• 6 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
• Optional garnishes: whipped cream, chopped Andes candies, or peppermint sticks.
For equipment, grab a 3-quart saucepan or slow cooker, stirring spoon or whisk, and a ladle. If using a Crock Pot, a slow cooker liner makes cleanup effortless—more time for cocoa sipping!
Simple Steps for Cocoa Bliss
- Slow Cooker Method
Line your Crock Pot (optional but so helpful!) and toss in all the ingredients except the garnishes. Heat on low, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate chips melt and the mixture is smooth and creamy. - Stovetop Method
In a large pot, combine all ingredients except garnishes. Heat over medium-low, whisking frequently until the chocolate chips melt and the cocoa is smooth. Avoid boiling—it’s all about that slow, cozy simmer!
Once ready, ladle the cocoa into mugs, top with your favorite garnishes, and serve. Whipped cream, crushed mints, or a peppermint stick make the perfect finishing touches.
