Strawberry Hot Chocolate in the Slow Cooker

On a cold winter day you need something warm and delicious to warm you up. This slow cooker strawberry hot chocolate not only is super easy to put together and make but it’s SO cute! It would make the perfect Valentine’s day treat to make.

What’s nice about their recipe is you can pop it into your slow cooker and have it ready when you come back inside from a nice winter activity or maybe an evening out for Valentine’s day.

It gets even better with some Tequila Rose added in!

Get some Valentine sprinkles or red and pink ones and top your hot chocolate with them along with whipped cream. You have yourself the perfect sweet warm drink to enjoy!

What Alcohol is Used in this Boozy Strawberry Hot Chocolate?

We used Tequila Rose strawberry cream for our boozy slow cooker hot chocolate, but you can use any strawberry liqueur you have on hand. If you’d rather a different flavor, you can also swap it with almost any variety of liqueurs including vanilla or peppermint.

Regular alcohol would also work, but you may need to adjust the quantity if you’re switching to spirits with a higher AVB.

White Chocolate Alternative

Although we are big fans of white chocolate we know it’s not for everyone. You can easily swap out the white chocolate chips with milk chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, or even mint chocolate chips. Still adding your strawberry syrup, milk, and heavy whipping cream!

This will of course change the taste AND color of your drink but if your taste buds prefer a different chocolate we say go for it! For all the alternative chocolate chips listed we highly recommend adding more strawberry syrup so the strawberry flavor stands out more.

Fast Option

If you forgot to start your strawberry hot chocolate or decided at the last minute you really want some you can skip the slow cooker altogether and use your stove top to make this delicious drink.

1. Find a medium pot and add your white chocolate chips in melting them on medium to low heat, be careful not to burn them!
2. Once they are fully melted add your heavy whipping cream, milk, strawberry syrup, and alcohol.
3. Mix together and remove from the heat immediately. Stir until fully combined well.
4. Use a soup ladle to serve your hot chocolate.
5. Add your whipped cream and sprinkles if desired and enjoy your fast strawberry hot chocolate option!
