If you love a great Irish hot chocolate, this Baileys Hot Chocolate recipe is definitely for you! Wonderfully creamy, this homemade hot chocolate recipe is simple to make with just 6 ingredients.
Equipment
- Sauce Pan A fantastic sauce pan and a must-have tool for every kitchen!
- Mini Whisk Perfect for small-batch items like drinks, sauces and dressings!
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 Tablespoon semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar or granular monk fruit sweetener
- Pinch/grind of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 oz. Baileys Irish Cream liqueur
Instructions
- To a sauce pan, add the milk, chocolate chips, sugar and salt. Heat over medium-low heat. Using a whisk, stir often to help the sugar dissolve.
- Continue whisking until the chocolate melts completely and the mixture comes to a low simmer. Note: DO NOT let it rapidly boil, as the milk and chocolate will burn to the bottom of the pan. Once the liquid comes to a low simmer, promptly remove from heat. Add the vanilla and stir to combine.
- To a mug, add the Baileys, then ladle or pour the hot chocolate into the mug. Stir to combine. Top with your favorite hot chocolate toppings, like my homemade Cool Whip. Enjoy right away while hot.
Notes
Milk options: this hot chocolate recipe will work with any milk of your choice, dairy or plant-based, however, whole milk will give you the creamiest hot chocolate. As noted in the recipe, be sure to not let the mixture come to a rapid boil, as the milk will burn.
