Cook Time: 2 hrs
Total Time: 2 hrs 5 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup red velvet cake mix
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Whipped cream for topping
- Red sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 cups of milk, 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 cup of red velvet cake mix, 1 cup of chocolate chips, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, whipped cream for topping, and red sprinkles for garnish.
- In a large crock pot, pour in the 4 cups of milk and 1 cup of heavy cream. Stir gently to combine the two liquids.
- Add 1 cup of red velvet cake mix to the milk and cream mixture. Whisk thoroughly until the cake mix is fully dissolved and there are no lumps.
- Next, add 1 cup of chocolate chips to the crock pot. Stir the mixture well to ensure the chocolate chips are evenly distributed throughout.
- Pour in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor. Stir again to incorporate the vanilla into the hot chocolate mixture.
- Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on low heat for 2 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and to help melt the chocolate chips completely.
- After 2 hours, check the consistency of the hot chocolate. If it’s too thick, you can add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Once the hot chocolate is ready, ladle it into mugs. Top each serving with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
- Finally, sprinkle red sprinkles over the whipped cream for a festive touch. Serve immediately and enjoy your Love Potion Crock Pot Red Velvet Hot Chocolate!
Tips
- Ingredient Quality Matters: Use high-quality chocolate chips and fresh milk for the best flavor. The richer the ingredients, the more indulgent your hot chocolate will be!
- Customize Your Sweetness: Depending on your preference, you can adjust the amount of chocolate chips or even add a touch of sugar if you like it sweeter.
- Stir Occasionally: While the hot chocolate is cooking, be sure to stir it every 30 minutes to prevent the chocolate from sticking to the bottom and to ensure even melting.
- Serving Suggestions: For an extra special touch, consider adding a splash of peppermint extract or a sprinkle of cocoa powder on top of the whipped cream for a festive flair.
- Perfect for Sharing: This recipe yields 8 servings, making it ideal for gatherings. Set up a hot chocolate bar with toppings like marshmallows, caramel drizzle, or crushed cookies for guests to customize their drinks!
