Ingredients

Rim

  • 1/4 cup melted chocolate, for rim
  • 1/2 cup chocolate shavings

Beverage

  • 1 pint vanilla ice cream
  • 2 cups hot chocolate
  • 1/2 cup Baileys Irish Cream

For Topping

  • Whipped cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mug Rims: Pour melted chocolate and chocolate shavings separately into shallow dishes. Dip the rims of two mugs first into the melted chocolate, then immediately dip them into the chocolate shavings to create a decorative and flavorful rim.
  2. Add Ice Cream: Using a medium cookie scoop, place a few scoops of vanilla ice cream into each chocolate-rimmed mug, ensuring a generous amount for creaminess.
  3. Pour Hot Chocolate and Baileys: Carefully pour the hot chocolate over the ice cream in each mug, then add Baileys Irish Cream, blending warmth and rich flavors together.
  4. Top with Whipped Cream: Finish each drink with a generous swirl of whipped cream on top. Optionally, sprinkle some extra chocolate shavings over the whipped cream for added texture and decoration.

Notes

  • Use good quality melted chocolate and fresh chocolate shavings for the best flavor and appearance.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of hot chocolate and cold ice cream.
  • Adjust the amount of Baileys to taste or substitute with another Irish cream liqueur if desired.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, omit the Baileys and add an extra half cup of hot chocolate.
  • Chill mugs slightly before dipping rims to help the chocolate set faster.
