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
- Combine Ingredients: Add the heavy cream, whole milk, white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract to a slow cooker. Stir gently until combined.
- Cook and Stir: Cover and cook on low heat for 3 hours, stirring every 20 minutes to ensure the chocolate melts evenly and doesn’t burn on the edges.
- Add Color: Mix in green and yellow food coloring gradually until you reach the desired vibrant shade of green.
- Serve: Pour into mugs and serve with your favorite toppings like whipped cream, marshmallows, sprinkles, or crushed candy canes.
- Keep Warm: Keep the hot chocolate on the warm setting for up to 3 hours. If it thickens too much, stir in extra milk to adjust the consistency.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate—chips, chopped bars, or melting discs work best.
- Stir every 20 minutes to prevent burning and promote even heating.
- Gel food coloring provides a more vibrant green than regular food coloring. Recommended brands include AmeriColor’s Leaf Green and Lemon Yellow.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 5 days. Reheat gently before serving.
