How to Make Slow Cooker Hot Cocoa

  1. Combine the milk, heavy cream (if using), cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a slow cooker. Whisk or stir well until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
  2. Cover the slow cooker and set it to the low heat setting. Allow the mixture to cook for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally. This slow cooking process allows the flavors to blend and intensify.
  3. After the cooking time is complete, give the hot cocoa a final stir to ensure all the ingredients are well combined. Taste and adjust the sweetness or cocoa intensity if desired by adding more sugar or cocoa powder.
