Description

Snowed-In White Chocolate Hot Cocoa Cocktail is a luscious adult beverage crafted in a slow cooker. Combining white chocolate, creamy whipping cream, and milk, infused with vanilla and finished with the smooth kick of RumChata cream liqueur. Perfect for cozy winter gatherings, this warm drink is garnished with whipped cream and festive crushed candy canes, creating a delightful and comforting cocktail experience.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups (12 ounces, 252 g) white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (238 g) heavy whipping cream
  • 6 cups (1.47 kg) milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Alcohol and Garnishes

  • 1 cup RumChata cream liqueur
  • Whipped cream, for garnish
  • Crushed candy canes, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Add Ingredients to Slow Cooker: In the bowl of a slow cooker, combine the white chocolate chips, heavy whipping cream, milk, and vanilla extract. Ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed for a smooth and creamy hot chocolate base.
  2. Cook and Melt: Cover the slow cooker and set it on low heat. Cook for 1 to 1½ hours, stirring occasionally to help the white chocolate chips melt completely and the mixture become hot and well blended without scorching.
  3. Add RumChata: Once the hot cocoa is thoroughly heated and the white chocolate is fully melted, remove the lid and stir in 1 cup of RumChata cream liqueur. Mix gently to combine the flavors without over-agitating the creamy texture.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Pour the warm cocktail into glass mugs. Top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle crushed candy canes on top for a festive touch. Serve immediately while warm for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • Stir occasionally during cooking to prevent the white chocolate from sticking and burning at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • For a thicker consistency, use whole milk or reduce the amount of milk slightly.
  • Adjust the amount of RumChata according to your taste preference or omit it for a non-alcoholic version.
  • Crushed candy canes add a festive peppermint flavor but can be substituted with chocolate shavings or cinnamon if preferred.
  • Ensure to serve the drink warm, as reheating may cause separation of the cream and alcohol.
