And this genius slow-cooker recipe makes it easy to enjoy your favorite drink the second you come in from the cold.<\/p>\n<h2>Slow-Cooker Hot Chocolate Ingredients<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Hot chocolate:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2% milk<\/li>\n<li>Cacao dark baking chocolate<\/li>\n<li>Brown sugar<\/li>\n<li>Instant espresso powder<\/li>\n<li>Vanilla extract<\/li>\n<li>Salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Coffee whipped cream (optional):<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Heavy whipping cream<\/li>\n<li>Instant espresso powder<\/li>\n<li>Sugar<\/li>\n<li>Chocolate-covered coffee beans<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Make the hot chocolate<\/h3>\n<p>Simply combine all of the hot chocolate ingredients in a 1-1\/2 quart slow cooker. Cook, covered, on low for two hours, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is hot and chocolate is melted. Coffee helps bring out that ultra-chocolaty flavor.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Prepare the garnishes<\/h3>\n<p>While the hot chocolate is warming up in the slow cooker, start preparing the garnishes. While it&#8217;s completely optional, this coffee whipped cream adds a sophisticated edge to the finished drink. To make, beat together the cream and espresso powder in a small bowl. Once the cream starts to thicken, add the sugar and beat until soft peaks form.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Garnish and serve<\/h3>\n<p>Once your hot chocolate is, well, hot, it&#8217;s time to serve! Ladle servings into mugs and garnish with whipped cream and chopped chocolate-covered espresso beans.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip:<\/em> Wait to add garnishes until the hot chocolate is served up; they&#8217;d melt if added right to the slow cooker. If you&#8217;re serving this recipe for a party, set out the garnishes in bowls next to the slow cooker and allow guests to help themselves.<\/p>\n<h2>Can you freeze slow-cooker hot chocolate?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, but it&#8217;s not advisable. There&#8217;s a risk that the hot chocolate will separate, and milk tends to get grainy when frozen for longer than a month. Instead, learn how to make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/frozen-hot-chocolate-how-to\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/frozen-hot-chocolate-how-to\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">frozen hot chocolate<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Slow-cooker Hot Chocolate Tips<\/h2>\n<h3>Will the milk curdle in the slow cooker?<\/h3>\n<p>There&#8217;s always a chance milk will curdle when exposed to heat, but by cooking this slow-cooker hot chocolate on a low temperature and stirring frequently, it&#8217;ll be just fine.<\/p>\n<h3>Why use chocolate and not just cocoa powder?<\/h3>\n<p>Chopped chocolate gives this recipe a luxe, truffle-like texture. The end result is smooth, creamy and oh-so-decadent. If you don&#8217;t have chocolate on hand, you can certainly substitute cocoa powder. But the end result will be a little less indulgent.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make this dairy-free and vegan?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes\u2014but you will need to make some substitutions. First, replace the milk with your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-non-dairy-milk\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-non-dairy-milk\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">favorite milk alternative<\/a>.

You can count on these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-vegan-chocolate-bars\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-vegan-chocolate-bars\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">vegan chocolate brands<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For the garnish, swap the heavy whipping cream for coconut cream, or pick up your favorite store-bought whipped cream alternative. If you&#8217;re vegan, you&#8217;ll also need to pay attention to the sugar you use and buy a brand that does not use bone char.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you flavor this hot chocolate with peppermint?<\/h3>\n<p>Sure! Feel free to swap out the espresso powder for a teaspoon of peppermint extract\u00a0or a splash of peppermint liqueur. Garnish with crushed peppermint candies.
