Notes
Making this stovetop: This can also be made on a stovetop, just use a regular saucepan instead of the Instant Pot. The only thing is you won't have the keep warm mode, but you can gently rewarm on medium low heat.
Storing leftovers: Leftover hot chocolate can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can reheat it by microwaving gently or heating in a small saucepan on medium low heat.
Dairy Free Option: Try substituting the milk and heavy cream for any dairy free milks, and using dairy free chocolate chips
