Ingredients
Scale
Hot Chocolate Base
- 6 cups whole milk
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Green food coloring (to desired color)
Toppings
- Whipped cream, for serving
- Red heart sprinkles, for garnish
- Green sprinkles, for garnish
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In the slow cooker, add the whole milk, heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. This mixture forms the creamy base of the hot chocolate.
- Add Color: Stir in green food coloring until you achieve your preferred shade of festive green, giving the drink its signature Grinch-inspired look.
- Cook Slowly: Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 2 hours. Stir occasionally during cooking to ensure the white chocolate chips melt evenly and seamlessly blend into the milk mixture.
- Serve: Ladle the smooth, vibrant green hot chocolate into mugs. Top each serving with a generous swirl of whipped cream, then garnish with red heart and green sprinkles for a cheerful holiday presentation.
Notes
- Stirring occasionally during cooking is important to prevent the white chocolate from settling and to ensure a smooth texture.
- Adjust the amount of green food coloring to customize the vibrancy of the drink.
- For a non-dairy option, substitute milk and cream with plant-based alternatives, but flavor and texture may slightly vary.
- Use full-fat dairy products for the creamiest and richest hot chocolate experience.
