Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups heavy cream
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 16 ounces white chocolate chips
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • green food coloring
  • yellow food coloring

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the heavy cream, whole milk, white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract into a slow cooker. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
  2. Cook Mixture: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 3 hours, stirring every 20 minutes to prevent the chocolate from burning and ensure even heating.
  3. Add Color: After the chocolate has fully melted and the mixture is smooth, add green and yellow food coloring a little at a time until you achieve your desired shade of vibrant green.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Serve the hot chocolate warm with toppings such as whipped cream, marshmallows, sprinkles, or crushed candy canes for added festive fun.
  5. Keep Warm: You can keep the hot chocolate on the warm setting for up to 3 hours. If the drink becomes too thick while standing, stir in additional milk to adjust to your preferred consistency.

Notes

  • Use high-quality white chocolate such as chips, chopped bars, or melting discs for the best creamy texture and flavor.
  • Stir the hot chocolate every 20 minutes during cooking to prevent burning and to ensure even heating.
  • Gel food coloring is recommended for a vibrant and rich green color; a combination of leaf green and lemon yellow works well.
  • Store any leftover hot chocolate in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
