Equipment

Instant Pot

Ingredients

3 cups Whole Milk
1 cup Heavy Cream
½ cup Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
¼ cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
¼ cup Sugar
½ teaspoon Vanilla
⅛ teaspoon Salt

Instructions

Set the Instant Pot to "Saute". Add all the ingredients to the Instant Pot and stir to combine and to gently heat the milk and melt the chocolate chips.
After 0 minutes, close the Instant Pot lid, cancel "saute" mode, and set the Instant Pot to "high" pressure for 0 minutes.
Allow the Instant Pot to naturally release for at least 10 minutes.
There will be a layer of milk once you open the lid. It's perfectly fine! If you would like, strain the hot chocolate to make it silky smooth, or mix well to combine.
Open the Instant Pot and serve!

Notes

If there is pressure leftover be VERY careful when releasing the pressure. The hot chocolate will sputter up the top of the release valve and spray all over.
To lighten up the hot chocolate, use 2% milk instead of whole milk and heavy cream.
