# Ingredients List:
01 -
4 cups (960 ml) heavy cream
02 -
4 cups (960 ml) whole milk or 2% milk
03 -
16 ounces (455 g) white chocolate chips
04 -
14 ounces (396 g) sweetened condensed milk
05 -
1 tablespoon (15 ml) vanilla extract
06 -
Green food coloring, to desired shade
07 -
Yellow food coloring, to adjust hue
# How to Make It:
01 -
Add heavy cream, milk, white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract to a slow cooker. Stir gently until well incorporated.
02 -
Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 2–3 hours. Stir every 20–30 minutes until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
03 -
Add green and yellow food coloring a few drops at a time, mixing until the color matches your preference.
04 -
Switch the slow cooker to warm and maintain temperature for up to 3 hours for serving. Optionally, garnish with mini marshmallows, whipped cream, or festive sprinkles before enjoying.
05 -
To prepare on the stove, combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer without boiling. Stir frequently for 5–10 minutes until the chocolate has melted and the beverage is fully blended, then serve.
06 -
If hot chocolate becomes too thick, stir in additional milk, 60–120 ml at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Avoid high heat as overheating will cause the cream to separate; always use low heat. Stir periodically to ensure a smooth, creamy texture.
