Servings: 1
Calories: 497kcal
Ingredients
- 1¼ cups whole milk
- 2½ tablespoons double chocolate hot cocoa mix, I used the Ghirardelli brand
- 2½ ounces Baileys Original Irish Cream Liquor
Garnish
- Extra creamy squirt whipped topping, I used Reddi Whip brand
- Chocolate sauce for ice cream or drinks, I used the Ghirardelli brand
- Semi-sweet chocolate shavings, I used a semi-sweet Ghirardelli baking bar
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe large coffee mug (at least 12 to 14-ounce capacity), add the whole milk and microwave on high for 1 minute 45 seconds.
- Whisk the double chocolate hot cocoa mix into the hot milk until no lumps remain.
- Whisk the Baileys Original Irish Cream into the mug of hot chocolate.
- Garnish with the optional squirt of whipped topping, a drizzle of chocolate sauce, and semi-sweet chocolate shavings.
Notes
- Want a boozier drink? Reduce the amount of milk, or increase the amount of Baileys.
- This makes one very large drink, so make sure your mug has at least a 12 to 14-ounce capacity.
- I find that stirring the double chocolate hot cocoa mix with a spoon does not mix it very well. I use a small/narrow whisk or even one of those little battery-operated coffee frothers.
