Have you tried my Mexican hot chocolate recipe yet? How about my copycat version of Disneyland’s hot chocolate? I hope you loved them because I have another ultra decadent hot chocolate for you, in white chocolate form!

If you’re looking for the ultimate drink to cozy up to on a cold winter day or just about anytime you crave something luxurious, this white chocolate drink is it! Perfectly sweet, rich, and creamy, it’s pure bliss!

Helpful tips

  • This drink is as good as your ingredients, so splurge on high-quality chocolate. I like to use Ghirardelli premium white chocolate bars or white chocolate chips.
  • Do not boil the milk to keep from scalding it and changing its texture.
  • You can use all milk and skip the heavy cream if you like to trim the calories or cut down on the fat.

This white hot chocolate recipe is ready in minutes, has fewer ingredients than the powdered form you can buy in the store, and can be kept warm or made entirely in a crockpot.

How to Make Slow Cooker Hot Chocolate:

  1. Combine milk, heavy cream, white chocolate, and vanilla in the crock pot.
  2. Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or on LOW for 3 to 3 1/2 hours or until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is hot. Stir every 30 minutes.
  3. Serve immediately or decrease to KEEP WARM setting.

Your holiday guests will love this hot beverage. You can easily double (or triple!) the recipe, keep it nice and hot in the slow cooker, and set out different mix-ins and cups on the counter so everyone can ladle their own and top as desired.

Toppings for Hot Chocolate:

  • Crushed peppermint or peppermint candy sticks
  • Oreo or graham cracker crumbs
  • Whipped cream
  • miniature marshmallows
  • Ground cinnamon or cinnamon sticks
  • miniature chocolate chips or chocolate curls
  • Caramel or chocolate sauce
  • Toffee bits
  • liqueurs (coffee-flavored, yum!) or flavored syrups or extracts (mint, please!)
  • holiday sprinkles
  • sweetened coconut shavings

Any other topping ideas? Share in the comments below and enjoy a cup (or two, no judgment here) today!

    There is actually no such thing as WHITE chocolate as brown cacao makes chocolate. I have no idea what white chocolate is supposed to be.

      White chocolate is made from cocoa butter, sugar and milk solids. It doesn’t contain cocoa solids, which are found in other types of chocolate. This sounds yummy. I can’t wait to try it!!
