- Cooking method: Stovetop
- Prep time: 10 minutes
- Cook time: 10 minutes
- Cuisine type: Dessert
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup Baileys Irish Cream
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- Whipped cream, for topping (optional but highly recommended)
- Chocolate shavings, for garnish (go crazy)
Cooking Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine milk, heavy cream, and sugar over medium heat. Stir until sugar melts.
- Sift cocoa powder into the mixture. Mix thoroughly to avoid lumps. Nobody likes lumpy chocolate. Gross.
- Bring mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently. Don’t let it boil – we’re making dessert, not a volcano.
- Remove from heat and add Baileys and vanilla extract. Stir well. Try not to drink it straight from the pan. Tempting, I know.
- Pour the mixture into your favorite mugs. Go fancy or go home.
- Optional: Top with whipped cream and sprinkle chocolate shavings on top. “Optional” but who are we kidding? Just do it.
Suggestions
- Alternative Ingredients: Swap Baileys for any flavored liqueur. Think Kahlúa, amaretto, or peppermint schnapps for a holiday twist.
- Garnishing Options: Add a dash of cinnamon, a pinch of sea salt, or crushed peppermint candy for a festive flair. Tiny umbrellas are fun too!
- Cooking Tips: For a thicker consistency, reduce the milk by 1/4 cup. Wanna be a rebel? Mix in some melted chocolate with the cocoa powder for extra richness.
