How to Make Irish Hot Chocolate
- In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, 1/2 cup water, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
- Cook over low heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture is smooth and the cocoa powder is fully dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups whole milk and 1 cup heavy cream. Simmer for 2 minutes, whisking frequently, until gently heated through. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream liqueur (or more, to taste).
- Pour into warmed mugs. Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings for an extra touch of indulgence.
