Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup Bailey’s Irish Cream
- Whipped cream, for garnish
- Chocolate shavings, for garnish
Instructions
- Warm the Milk: Heat 2 cups of milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it is warm but not boiling, to avoid scorching.
- Melt the Chocolate: Add 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips to the warm milk and whisk continuously until the chocolate has melted completely and the mixture is smooth.
- Add Bailey’s Irish Cream: Stir in 1/2 cup of Bailey’s Irish Cream, ensuring it is well incorporated into the chocolate mixture.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the hot chocolate into mugs, then top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings for an elegant finish.
Notes
- Use whole milk for a richer texture, or substitute with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version, excluding Bailey’s which contains dairy.
- Adjust the amount of Bailey’s Irish Cream to taste depending on desired strength.
- Ensure the milk is not overheated to prevent a burnt taste.
- Chocolate shavings can be substituted with cocoa powder or additional chocolate chips.
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the Bailey’s and add a drop of vanilla extract instead.
