Ingredients

Scale

Liquid Ingredients

  • 8 cups milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tube purple gel food coloring

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Warm Milk Preparation: Heat one cup of milk in a microwave-safe container for one minute to warm it, which helps dissolve the cocoa mixture more easily.
  2. Prepare Slow Cooker Base: Pour the remaining 7 cups of milk and heavy cream into the bowl of the slow cooker, creating the creamy base for the hot chocolate.
  3. Mix Cocoa Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Then add the warm milk and stir until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Add the cocoa mixture to the slow cooker with the milk and cream, stirring to blend everything evenly.
  5. Slow Cook: Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 3 hours. This slow cooking process enhances the flavor and ensures a rich, perfectly blended hot chocolate.
  6. Finish and Serve: When ready to serve, remove the slow cooker lid and add the purple gel food coloring. Use a whisk to stir the hot chocolate carefully until the color is evenly mixed, creating a festive purple drink ready to enjoy.
